Hi
I have found the same issue as you - did you ever get this satisfactorily solved?
If not, here's how to get that nice table of all of the fields back in Access 2007.
First, right click the ribbon, and select Customize Quick Access toolbar.
Then select All Commands on the Choose Commands from drop down box.
Find Field List and Add it to the quick access toolbar.
Go to your database, and open it in Design View, then click the Field list icon on the quick access toolbar.
Scroll to the top of the list and click on the hyperlink to "Edit Table".
This will open up the list of fields in table view, so then click Design view and voila! there is the list of fields in a sensible format.
You probably solved this 2 years ago, however....
