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.
