Can't easily insert a column in between existing columns in Query Design
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:45:41 UTC
Hi, I am using the Query Design and find that I can't insert a new column in the middle of existing columns with the Design View on. It may just be me, but I find this a little frustrating. So my suggest is to provide the ability to insert a column in between existing columns in Design View in the Query Designer. Second to this is to allow dropping a field from the table and have it inserted between two existing columns. Sorry if this feature already exists and I just can't find it. Kelvin
Hi, I can reproduce this. As a workaround you can move the columns with D&D. Bye Marc
change subcomponent to 'none'
Hi Marc, Thanks for the suggestion. I know I can move the columns, but each new column appears at the end. When there are many columns this is not very friendly. I have to drag the column multiple times to get to the correct spot. Thanks again. Kelvin
You can move the columns with their header, and if you want to insert a column between others you can move an empty column at the position you want. Tested in a OOo 2.3. If this isn't want you want feel free to reopen this issue. Best regards, oj
