I've redone some of the lay-outs on my databases to increase workflow. Since i didnt change any code i figured importing the data from the 'old' db would be a breeze, but it's not. When I export the whole DB and import it the fields are not ordered correctly. Not all field are populated all the time so its kinda hard to even start trying to get them in the correct order. The dabase has LOADS of fields and relationships so re-organizing would be a hassle :

I don't import/export alot and therefore i think i might be overlooking something obvious here. The fieldnames are the same so i wonder why i will not match the original db.

Any help?

TIA

have a look at the import dialog:

there is an option "matching names"...

You miight have deleted/inserted a field or 2, so your previous order is invald.
