Default Query result shows all fields

I have not had this issue before with the old .mdb but with 2007 Access ,
when I am creating or editing a query in design mode, I click or drag only
the field names I need, delete all others i dont need, but when I click on
the datasheet view - everything else in the tables I used on the query
appears - and I have to use hide options to hide them. Its not that hard at
first but when you keep doing it over and over it tends to get frustrating.
How do I get the query to show only the fields I lined up in the design mode?

There is a property, whose default should be False, called "Output All
Fields", that you must have inadvertantly checked somewhere along the way.
It's visible in the Query properties so it can be set on a query-by-query
basis. It's also visible on the Tables/Queries tab in ToolsOptions where it
can be set globally.

I've never used A2007 ... is the default True in A2007 (stupid!)?
