Newbie question:

I would like to get a list of column field names from a MS Access table and
hopefully get them returned in the ORIGINAL order (as they appear in access)

Is there a sql query I could do to get this result?

I also found this nice page:  http://php.net/manual/en/function.odbc-columns.php

what extension(s) are you using to access your DB. If it is odbc, then I see no problem accessing Access schema information.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.odbc-columns.php#81227 will show you how...
