Is there a way to run an update query referencing the fields in a table by their index instead of their name? We get tables from several suppliers; structures and data types identical, but with different field names.

Thanks for the help.

you will have to do it by the code then. if the structure is always the same (only the name change), use the VBA to update, you will be able to use index numbers instead of literal Mal'chik [bigglasses]
