Hi, At the API level fields are typically identified by form name and id, so if you wanted the other way around -- it would have been very simple -- get the field object using the key (form name & field id), once you have it, do a getter on Name property! In pre-7.1 API, it is FieldFactory.findByKey method and in 7.1, it would simply be ARServerUser.getField.
Now, if you have field name and want to lookup for its id --- here is what you do: you get all the fields of the form, iterate over each field, find the one that matches name & get its id. To do this FieldFactory.findObjects is of interest in pre7.1. In 7.1, it would be ARServerUser.getListFieldObjects. Of course if you wanted more direct way, you could do GetListSQL API call along the lines of (however I usually prefer the API calls rather than direct SQL): SELECT f.fieldName, s.schemaId, f.fieldId FROM field f, arschema s WHERE f.schemaId = s.schemaId AND s.name = 'User' AND f.fieldName = 'Request ID' Regards Appajee _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org ARSlist:"Where the Answers Are"
