    Dim strName As String

    Set objApp = FrontPage.Application
    Set objLstFlds = objApp.ActiveWeb.Lists.Item(0).Fields
    strName = "Description"
    'Add new Field of type fpFieldMultiLine to list
    objLstFlds.Add Name:=strName, Description:="Description Field", _
                   Fieldtype:=fpFieldMultiLine
