When I tried to insert a new column in one of the tables in my Design
Master, I accidentally overwrote another field. Of course, it asked me
whether I wanted to keep this change, I clicked "Yes", and I
synchronised this version of the database with our main database. I
soon found out, that the field was gone. No panic, because all the data
has been properly backed up. However, I tried to recreate a column with
the same name in that table (remember, the old one is definitely gone),
but Access tells me something that translates to "you can only define a
field once". Compact & Repair didn't help. How can I solve this? I
still need to be able to synchronise the database! Giving the field
another name isn't really an option, because that would require going
through the entire frontend to change that name, which would be a pain.
All help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
