In the table datasheet view it should show the country field in the 3rd place, but in the table design view should be same as in the above list, that is country field should be in the fifth field. HiTechCoach 03-24-2009, 11:33 PM I have never worried about the order of fields in the table design. Since I always use a query to look at the data in a table, you can order the fields in any order in the query. If you really must reorder the fields in the design view, first select the row then try dragging a field to a new position. sree 03-24-2009, 11:49 PM Please find the attachment database file. find the table design view and table data sheet view let me know how to do like this Atomic Shrimp 03-25-2009, 12:01 AM In the visual table designer... Select the field by clicking once on the square to the left of the field name Then click and hold that square, and drag the field to where you want it, then let go. sree 03-25-2009, 12:16 AM please analyse the dept no field in the attachment employee database and let me know the answer sree 03-25-2009, 01:43 AM I have never worried about the order of fields in the table design.
