Read-Only Properties

When you create a DAO object in code, you set its properties to define its characteristics. You then append the object to its collection to make it a permanent part of the database. However, some properties become read-only after the property’s parent is appended. For example, after you append a new TableDef object and its Field objects to its collection, the Type property becomes read-only. To change these properties, you must delete the object and re-create it.
