Preventing a Query from Overwriting Field Names in a Table

[Wiretwister]

Windows 10, Access 2000

Hello,

Working on modifying a query to find possible component substitutes to include in a Bill of Material. The query shown here writes data to a table (Bill of Material Table). I would like the table to have these 6 (more user-friendly) field names: BOM Part Number, Item Number, Component Part Number, Quantity, BOM Notes, and Effective Date. When I run the query, it changes the field names to: PARPRT_02, UDFKEY_02, COMPRT_02, QTYPER_02, Notes_61, and EFFDTE_02.



What can I do to keep my chosen field names in place?

Thanks in advance!

Use an alias for each.
Though you could just have captions for those fields.

Users shouldn't be seeing tables or query results as datasheets, so this should be a non-starter unless this is something you as the developer needs to have.
