Labview database problem: Create a database table from user defined fields

Question

I am trying to create a new table in an access database opened by an ODBC connection from information entered a table stored in the database, but every time I try to create the table, the Labview Database connectivity toolkit VI for creating a table throws a cryptic error
"Exception occured in Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in field definition. in NI_Database_API.lvlib:Conn Execute.vi->NI_Database_API.lvlibB Tools Create Table.vi->DatabaseCreateHeaders.vi"
I think this is becuase I am trying to re-create the database  column variable type, but I am not sure what I am doing wrong.  Everything seems to be fine as the data types go, and everything works as long as I use a constant to create the database columns.  I even tried putting all of the information into the format labview defined, changed that to a variant, and redefined it as the labview database column type. 
I have attached a simplified VI and a picture of what I am trying to
do, but I would appreciate any help I can get.  Hopefully I won't have
pulled out all of my hair by the time some one replies!
Solved!

Hi everyone. I am new to the database tool kit using labview. I am using labview 9.0f2 on Windows Xp. I am required to create a database (task is to create a table and to insert values into the table using Microsoft access 2007). I am trying to learn using the Create Database table.vi found with the software. I understand that need to create an access file and also had a mdl file which is name after it.(I had created them). Looking at the example given, I would like to add a few more variables, to be exact 6 more variables(therefore i would have 6 colum in my access file rite?). From the "connection information" the help information shows that it contain an 1D array of DB tools colum. ctl and also a cluster of 4 elements. the link to the access file, LabVIEW.udl shows that it restrict the colum in the access file.eg it has only stringcol,intcol,doublecol. I need to add more colum but cant add just like tt.
qn1: How to i add insert more varibles into the database so that it will apprears in access.
qn2: I cant drag and insert the "connection information" just to have more input. how do i do it?
qn3: where can i edit the info so that i can add more cluster into the access? when i drag out the input turn greyish.
