referencing a table from a .mdb file

[WayneHajas]

I am working with join and relates commands.

In the GUI, I can reference tables from a .mdb (microsoft access) file. I would like to be able to do the same from a python script.

Instead of arcpy.AddJoin_management( "veg_layer", "HOLLAND95", "vegtable.dbf", "HOLLAND95"), I would like to use something like arcpy.AddJoin_management( "veg_layer", "HOLLAND95", TABLEinMDB, "HOLLAND95"). I just have no idea what the syntax for TABLEinMDB would be. Does anybody have any ideas?

As an aside, is there some sort of feature logging feature in ARCGIS that would help to sort out these types of issue?

Thanks in advance!

For example

import arcpy

#Option1
MDB = "c:\temp\tables.mdb\"
table = "vegtable" 

arcpy.AddJoin_management( "veg_layer", "HOLLAND95", MDB + table, "HOLLAND95")




#Option2
TABLEinMDB = "c:\temp\tables.mdb\vegtable"

arcpy.AddJoin_management( "veg_layer", "HOLLAND95", TABLEinMDB, "HOLLAND95")

Note: should not require the table end in .dbf  if it is located within a .mdb.
