Thanks Erland and Serge,
I found a program from Microsoft that allows me to do some of what I need to
do (add and populate a new table), without using Access.
It's called the SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) and is free from
Microsoft. You have to have the .Net framework 2.0 or better on your
computer, also J# framework, both are free from Microsoft.
Go to this blog for info and a step-by-step Word doc on how to do it.

He says you need to dl Sql Server 2005 to your machine, but I used it (SSMA)
without doing that.
