Hi Doug,

thanks for your reply, I don't get a dialog box before I close a table, because I don't alter the order of any columns.

It seems completely random that sometimes when I open a table back up again, everything will be out of order.

- if things are out of order when I open the file, I go into design view and I've got a text column in there I can change round, so I change it from text to memo, for example, save the change, go back into table view and everything is back in the order I left it in. i just have to make a change to the design and everything goes back to how it should be. But this is bit irritating!
