Description
A TABSAdvFieldDef object contains the definition of one field in a table. The definition for a field includes such attributes as the field's name, data type, and size. TABSAdvFieldDef objects are typically used in collections of such objects, such as the FieldDefs property of the TABSTable component.

There are three primary reasons for working with TABSAdvFieldDef objects:

·	To obtain full information about field types in a dataset without opening the dataset.

·	To specify advanced field definitions for a new table.

·	To specify field definitions for table restructuring.
