Hi all,

I need to add 3 columns (with zeros in them) to a preexisting table between the 3rd and 4th columns. How can I do this?

Thanks a lot,

It is only possible to create a new table with the wanted order of columns.
Otherwise the new columns will be added to the end.

Why does the order matter? You can add them at the end and SELECT the data in any order you want

Also in your application, you should refer recordset object by column name like rs("col") rather than rs(0), this way you dont need to worry about the actual position of the column
