   Your writing makes sense, but the situation you describe doesn't.  :-)   
   At least not in my experience.   
      
      
   Do you not use 'real' names for the fields in the table?   
      
   I've NEVER had a field change on a form, when I only add fields to the end   
   of the table and when I don't otherwise change field names.   
      
   Are you doing this interactively, or in code?
