> IsTable    

Many times it becomes neccessary to see if a Table object exists in your code. This simple function provides that functionality. As an FYI, in the code you will see the criteria of "[Type] In (1,4,6)". Those values break down to this:

1: Local table.
4: Linked table to an ODBC source.
6: Linked table to a Jet/ACE (Access) source, Sharepoint list, CSV, Excel ... Basically non-ODBC linked tables.
