Question : Flag number

Hi Guys
I am using this query to list all the tables
SELECT MsysObjects.Name, MsysObjects.Type, MsysObjects.Flags
FROM MsysObjects
WHERE (((MsysObjects.Name) Not Like "Msys*" And (MsysObjects.Name) Not Like "tbl*") AND ((MsysObjects.Type)=1))
ORDER BY MsysObjects.Name;

1 of the table shows  262144 in the Flag column

what does it mean?
is there any list of posible values that i can relate ?

Please advice

Answer : Flag number

The flags column is undocumented.  However if you poke around on the net, you'll find places where people have taken a stab at documenting them.  Here's one shor list I found:

Append = 64

Crosstab = 16

Data-Definition = 96

Delete = 32

Deleted or temp ( prefixed with ~) = 3

Hidden = 8

Linked Table= 2097152

Make-Table = 80

MSys Table (w/o read permission) = 2

MSys Table (w/ read permission) = -2147483648

Select Query or standard table = 0

Union = 128

Update = 48

 As you can see, most futher define the type of object.  For what your doing, I can't see why you'd want to use the flag column.  Checking the type column for 3 will get you all the tables.
