Adding Fields property DecimalPlaces using the fields collection

Hi gurus

I am using vb code to create a table and add fields. I need to set the
DecimalPlaces property of a field to a value. I cannot see how to do this as
it is not a "standard" attribute of the field object eg like
fieldobject.AllowZeroLength = True where I want to
fieldobject.DecimalPlaces=1

Can anyone help me with this...it is not so obvious in the online help...or
am i missing something entirely??

cheers
Jeff
