How do I determine whether an object is a member of a collection in VBA?
Specifically, I need to find out whether a table definition is a member of the TableDefs collection.
Your best bet is to iterate over the members of the collection and see if any match what you are looking for. Trust me I have had to do this many times.
The second solution (which is much worse) is to catch the ‘Item not in collection’ error and then set a flag to say the item does not exist.
