Well you could create a VBA function.<br>
like this:<br>
---------------------------------<br>
Public Function sample()<br>
On Error GoTo Err_Sample<br>
DoCmd.OpenTable "Tablename"<br>
'if the the table dose not exist then it will return an Error 7874<br>
Exit_Sample:<br>
Exit Function<br>
<br>
Err_Sample:<br>
Select Case Err.Number<br>
Case 7874<br>
' Table not found<br>
DoCmd.RunMacro "MacroName"<br>
Case Else<br>
MsgBox "Error # " & Err.Number & " " & Err.DESCRIPTION, vbInformation, "In sub xxxxxxxxxx"<br>
Resume Exit_Sample<br>
End Select<br>
<br>
End Function<br>
