Tables don't have fields. Tables have columns.

Look up ALTER TABLE in books online.

you can add a new column and populate it using the old on.
You can rename the table and use a view to access it renaming the column.

To rename or delete columns I think you will either have to patch the system tables or make another copy of the table.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
