   Having a structure where you often have to change it by adding fields   
   usually indicates a normalization problem. It certainly is, at very   
   least unusual and abnormal. In adddition, your response to Liz about   
   needing to keep fields in a specific order further suggests you   
   misunderstand table structure, schema and normalization. PERHAPS there   
   is a good reason. I can't imagine one. Check out my Database Basics and   
   Normalization papers at our paradox resources pages (link in my   
   signature) for more info on this.
