I've read and re-read the manual and searched mailing list archive and still
can't see what is wrong with this statement - I'm sure someone can put me
out of my misery ! I'm simply trying to move the position of the Cat2
column.

mysql> alter table bollinks3 change Cat2 Cat2 smallint(5) unsigned not null
after OutIP;
ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'after OutIP' at line
1

I'm using mysql 3.22.32-log and have full privileges. The table is like
this:
mysql> describe bollinks3;
