   Changing table structure and losing a fo   
   03 May 07 15:06:50   
   
   From: megaflex@bellsouth.net   
      
   I have built an application that requires me to modify one or two table   
   structures once or twice a year. These tables are attached to a form. In all   
   cases, I am adding to the table structure with additional alpha field types.   
   My problems is that when the original form is opened, the fields have   
   shifted is some cases. Example: field027 configured on the orginal form will   
   now change to a random field say field30a. So when I look at the original   
   form several of the fields have changed locations. Is there a way to lock   
   these field positions on a form so they are always referencing to the   
   original field name? I hope this makes sense!   
      
   Thanks
