   Very good question.  Veeery good question.  It does look dumb, doesn't it.   
    :)   
      
   We do a lot of online survey work.  Mostly with people who get paid, and   
   enter their address info.  When the study is complete, they send us a file   
   of all the info.   
      
   Every time until this time the data was in the correct order.  I pull it   
   into Paradox, and that's it.  For some reason, this particular time, the   
   field names were correct, but the order was wrong.  I noticed it, but forgot   
   to change the order.   
      
   So ... USER ERROR!   
      
   I was more or less wondering why if the calculated field references a field   
   name by name, how Paradox could pull other data.  And now I know why it   
   happens,   
   because it references the field number.   
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
   >then why did you ask if changing the field order could cause this?.. and   
   why   
   >would you ever want to change it to City / Zip / State in the first place??
