Or maybe it was deleteing and then re-adding the table....

I do believe i did delete it from the Program Manager ( not frm the disk) and re-add it back to the program manager because somehow I had placed it in the wrong sub-dir.
IS there a way to prevent this from happening in the future or a way to accomplish this without losing the long field names?
Thanks
