I thought I saw this done once before. So today I hunted around in
Books OnLine and did a Google search. So far I have found nothing
close. So if you know how to do it, please tell me or if cannot be
done, I'd appreciate know that too.

Thanks in advance,
IanO

Hi IanO,

Open Object Explorer with F8 (of you don't have it open yet), expand
"Databases", then the name of your DB, then "Tables", then the name of
your table. Now, drag the "Columns" map to the editor window and a list
of all columns will automagically appear.

My own take on this is that I simply run a SELECT * with TOP 1 or
WHERE 1 = 0 in text mode. I copy and paste into window in Textpad
where I have a macro that replaces the multiple spaces with comma +
space. Sounds kludgy? Well, navigating in an explorer tree takes time too.
