Hi Bob.

>Within SDT, I can change the order of fields in a table. This order is kept in the field coremeta.nfield and is updated by SDT explore. If in a utility program I change the values in this field to change the desired order, and then do oMeta.oSDTMgr.Update(), I was expecting that the actual order in the tables would change, but it doesn't seem to happen.

That's because the field order in the DBC didn't change. SDT considers that the DBC is an integral part of the meta data (assuming these aren't free tables).
