To add a field to a table, just open that table in design view, and in the first blank space available below the existing fields, type in the name of the field you want to add. Next, define it's data type (text, number, whatever). If you want to place that field somewhere besides the bottom of the list, simply click on its selector after you've created it, then hold down the mouse button while dragging that selector up or down. --Jim ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
