Razzak:
Very handy, PROJECT. Been learning just how handy, of late; but I hadn't thought of that.
Thanks!
Bruce

Bruce,
FWIW, the positioning of table columns is an eXclusive feature of
R:BASE Data Designer.
However, you may use the PROJECT command to define a temporary table
with all columns
in the order as you wish, and then DROP the actual table (if not
constraint by PK/FK
relationship), and finally PROJECT the temporary table to the actual
table name.
HELP PROJECT will illustrate it all!
Hope that provides you with some blue's clues ...
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
