Yeah, I could, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of using this tool 
to maintain everything.  If I have to do this part manually, I may as well 
stick with the process I have been using for the past couple of years.

Yes, I would agree the $886.00 price tag is a bit stiff for that one
need.  I have always used an alter table statement for the column
names.  Can you add that statement manually?
