hi,

is there a chance to get the table fields for cck fields to extend tables by the user. so i can creat an content typ with cck fields from the table and my user can extend it.

Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking - can you give a concrete example of what the Table Wizard would do and how it would appear to users? Please note that the Table Wizard deals with raw database tables - it knows nothing of the semantics of nodes, CCK fields, etc.

my problem:

i imported data with table wizard. that´s fine.

now i have different tables from table wizard in phpmyadmin (database)
i would like to use these datas as cck fields in a new content typ. if this is working, my user can add more content to the database.

example for my table:
potato | 20 carbs | 10 fat | vitamins .....

sorry for bad english, but mother lang is german.

To transfer the imported data into nodes (including populating whatever CCK fields you have on the nodes), you would use the migrate module. Basically, the Table Wizard is stage 1, exposing your incoming data to Views - in stage 2 migrate takes the views and turns the data from them into nodes.
