VBA for Access 2003 - DDL help with creating access file: setting the Autonumber data type

Question

So I have the below VB that creates an access file in the default workspace, creates a table, create some fields in that table...just need to know the syntax for setting the first data type/field to autonumber...GUID, Counter, etc will not work as in Access SQL

' error handling usually goes here

dim ws as workspace
dim dbExample as database
dim tblMain as TableDef
dim fldMain as Field
dim idxMain as Index

set ws = workspace(0)

set dbExample = ws.CreateDatabase('string file path')

set tblMain = dbExample.CreateTableDef("tblMain")

set fldMain = tblMain.CreateField("ID", 'right here I do not know what to substitute for dbInteger to get the autonumber type to work )

tblMain.Fields.Append fldMain
etc to create other fields and indexes

so in this line: set fldMain = tblMain.CreateField("ID", dbInteger) i need to replace the dbInteger with something that VB reconizes as the autonumber property. i have tried GUID, Counter, Autonumber, AutoIncrement....unfortunately none of these work

anyone know the syntax I am missing here?

Thanks, Justin

See Creating an AutoNumber field from code at The access Web.

BTW, what you're doing is not DDL.
