Don, I don't think you can insert fields "at the cursor". Fields are only appended to the table definition. The only way I can think of is to create a new table with the new field(s) in the position(s) you desire, then copy the data from the old table to the new one and delete the old table. I might be wrong, of course :( Matt Needles --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
