How to drop db and create new table

Hi all,

I have 2 questions:
1. How can I drop /remove a complete db from MSDE desktop engine?
2. After exporting my db onto MSDE server and get connected those db tables in FE (adp), how can I create a new table in the same back end db?

I know these are basic questions but since I am new to MSDE I hope the forum would bear me.

With kind regards,
Ashfaque1) DROP DATABASE (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/tsqlref/ts_de-dz_82lh.asp)
2) CREATE TABLE (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/tsqlref/ts_create2_8g9x.asp)

Note that there are other ways using the MS-Access GUI based tools. These are pure SQL Server, and as such are more portable than other ways.

No doubt the article is useful to use with SQL Server. It may also be useful for MSDE2000A server. But the problem is from where I should enter in SQL area to deal with these syntaxes. Like in Oracle/SQL you can reach to SQL prompt and put "Grant Connection, Resource, DBA To xyz indentified by xyz" something like.

I need to know in MSDE server how can I do this while I am handeling Access Database Project file?

After you open your access project press CTRL+G and go to Immediate window
you can run your command immediatly from there like this

docmd.runsql "create table somthing(empid varchar(5))"|||Thanks Feras,

I got the idea to start up at least. Bcz I am new to db Project. I know only sql of mdb files.
I used followings with docmds in immediate window
Drop table, Create table, Instert, Update

They can be written in following fashion

docmd.RunSQL "insert into T_dob values(772,'Waheed');

It is ok. What about if I need to delete the record set. Bcz I tried in the same way like:

Docmd.RunSQL "Delete * From T_dob Where Empname='Waheed'';

But it show syntax error. Where might have gone wrong?

Thanks again.

Thanks.
