Too Many Fields Defined

[pAUL]

I was trying to add more fields to my original table but
encountered the following message "Too Many Fields
Defined" Then, it would not allow me to save the fields
I had just entered. I reviewed my manual and I
understand that each table can hold up to 255 fields, but
my table only has 117 and will not allow me to add more.
Any suggestions!

Compact the database:
Tools | Database Utilities | Compact

Before you put too much work into this, though, please consider whether this
is a nomalized design. I don't think I've ever created a table with that
many fields, except in my very first database where the design was wrong.
The database analyzer may be able to help: Tools | Analyze | Table.

For example, if you see repeating fields such as Week1, Week2, or Item1,
Item2, ... these need to be broken into a related table.
