Table info from ADO Connection

[Stuart]

Is there any way to attain the names of the tables in a database from using
either ADO connection or ODBC or any other type of connection.

The reason I wish to do this is so that I can display all the information in
table (field names and values - this piece of code works) from a dynamic
SQL statement

Here is what I am trying to do:
<%
Connect to my_table.
%>

<select>
<%
For each Table in My_table

response.write "option value='" & table.name& "'>" & table.name & "</option>

Next

%>
</select>

Is this possible???

Regards,

Stuart

Yes, it's possible. You can use the OpenSchema method with the
adSchemaTables (20) argument to retrieve a recordset containing the names of
the tables in your database.

If you don't have ADO online help, you can get more details about this
method here:
