How to transfer a table (definition plus data) from one Access database to another using VBA

This procedure will transfer a table definition plus data from one database to another. Manually copying objects such as tables, forms, reports, modules etc from one database to another database is simple but unnecessary and time consuming. This can be achieved quickly with these few lines of code. This code is used in MAARS implementation. Feel to free use it in your own program, however, please give proper credit to the MAARS team.

Public Sub TransferATableStructureAndDataToAnotherDB(srcTableName As String, destTableName As String, _
destDbFullPath As String)
   'Export only the table definition to the destination database
   If Dir(destDbFullPath) <> "" Then
    DoCmd.TransferDatabase acExport, "Microsoft Access", destDbFullPath, acTable, srcTableName, destTableName, False
   End If

End Sub
