If you want two indexes, create the first one when creating the table,

create the other index.
I get an out of memory error, and my controls are non-functional, when
trying to create a table with more than 14 fields.
This is a problem under investigation. Seems to be OS and/or browser-
dependent. For now, create a smaller number of fields, then come back
to your table properties and add the other fields.
I have found a bug. How do I inform developpers?
