Trouble adding field in database using FPDW

[Miklb58]

You gotta be sick of me asking what seems like the same question, but I can't
solve this problem, I used FP DBIW to create a database, but I need to add a
field.
I CAN add a new filed in the submission page, and I CAN update the database
using the form properties on the submission page.
Then I CAN update the results page using the database results properties,
but what I CANNOT accomplish is seeing the new field on the database editor
page, without losing the format of the DB editor. Here's the problem.
When the database is originally created, the DB editor results page has a
checkbox as the first item, then the field "Key" which is a hyperlink. No
matter what I do to disturb this page, the checkbox, & hyperlink for "Key"
are lost, this makes it where you cannot "edit" any of your existing
records..............HELP

You have to re-create the page.

Sometimes is best to learn to hand code and not rely on the database components.

Do you mean, go through the beginning steps of
Add->new->databse interface wizard? I tried that and it adds a new "editor"
section called "editor1" which I could live with, but the problem I run in to
with that is then, I have fields like, "timestamp", 'browser_type",
"user_name", etc. in the new submission form that I don't want, how do i get
rid of those?

Right click the DBRW and select DBRW Properties to rerun it
