Perhaps the software should (re)assign the names of the first 4 fields and use a 2-part name to distinguish them from anything else? Maybe a special character at the front of the name would be enough - let's say '@'. That shouldn't look too ugly and it's unlikely someone would begin a field name with '@' (or some other suitable character). At any rate, if the user can give an arbitrary field > 4 a name which happens to match a name of one of the first 4 fields, we need some scheme so that users (and machines!) can distinguish the special fields. - Cirilo >> >> I am having the feeling the development of this table did not come from >> a clean plan of having an XYZ tool.
