    Hi, lojith 

    Thanks for the replies from SaiTejaTalasila and collinq. You can refer to their suggestion. Or you can try the following method.

    The inserted colomn named Column1, you can click the Queries & Connections and double left-click the connection.



    Then turn to the Definition page to modify the command text.

    Thanks Anonymous ,SaiTejaTalasila and collinq. That worked even though not a straight forward way. Feel there should be an easy way for layman users also to add a additional columns.
