title: Trying to copy Description property from DB to external DB (error 3270)
body: <p>I have created and manipulated an external database from the existing tables in my current database.</p>
  
  <p>The matter is that I necessarily have to manipulate "Description" property in the new database fields.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to retrieve "Description" property from cereated external database, response is that "Description" isn't a property (Error 3270, "property not found")</p>
  
  <p>How could I do it?</p>
  
  <p>I tried the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Sub Actualizacomentarios()
  
  Dim dbFinal As DAO.Database
  
  Dim tbl As DAO.TableDef
  Dim fld As DAO.Field
  
  Dim tblFinal As DAO.TableDef
  Dim fldFinal As DAO.Field
  Dim prpFinal As DAO.Property
  Set dbFinal = DBEngine.OpenDatabase("D:\Dropbox\Expedientes JLE nueva epoca activos\17002 - Fermin Torres. Programa\NuevoFoasat.accdb")
  
  For Each tbl In CurrentDb.TableDefs
  
      If InStr(tbl.Name, "JLE_") &gt; 0 Then
  
          For Each fld In tbl.Fields
  
              Set tblFinal = dbFinal.TableDefs(tbl.Name)
              Set fldFinal = tblFinal.Fields(fld.Name)
  
              fldFinal.Properties("Description") = fld.Properties("Description") 'HERE OCCURS ERROR
  
          Next fld
  
      End If
  
  Next tbl
  
  dbFinal.Close
  Set dbFinal = Nothing
  </code></pre>
