Add a new record to your DB. enter the name of each field into that field (wher possible). Add a space or two before the entry in the field you usually sort on.

Sort. The space (or two) will bring the new record to the top of the list.

Export.

You first row of data will now contain the field names.

Regards,
Barry

Thanks.
Since most of the fields are not text I will save a names file and change all fields to text to allow entering filed names in the field.
