Adding a column

I'm using MS Access 2000. I have a small database to keep track of my lighthouse
collection. Right now it's only two columns. I'd like to add a third. I'd like
the new column to be the third column, that is, to the right of the others.
Every time I try to insert a column, it ends up on the far left or in between
the two existing columns. How do I add one on the right? Thanks.

How are you going about adding the column? If I open a table in Design
View, the most convenient place to add a column (aka field) is at the bottom
of the list, and, when the record is opened, that will be at the extreme
right.

Thanks. Design View did it for me. I added the field.

Hi, I am new to python, hope someone can help me here: I have a MS Access exported .txt file which is tab delimited in total 20 columns, now I need to add another column of zero at the 4th column position and a column of zero at the 9th column position. What is the best way to do this? Can I write a while loop to count the number of tab I hit until the counter is 4 and then add a zero in between and thru the whole file? Thanks, Garry

Hi I have a table that currently has 466 columns and about 700,000 records. Adding a new DEFAULT column to this table takes a long time. It it a lot faster to recreate the table with the new columns and then copy all of the data across. As far as I am aware when you add a DEFAULT column the following happens:

I have a table that currently contains 718000 rows. I wish to add a column to the table. Adding this column anywhere other than the end of the table requires exporting data, a drop and recreate, then a re-import of data. Is there any disadvantage to adding this column to the end of the table. Will this fragment the table. Is a reorg needed? Thanks, - CBC

Hey all, I am very new to ASP.Net (and .Net in general), but that isn't stopping the boss from wanting to begin new projects in it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
