Why not just run a def of the form, then search through it for the field ID?

Since the form you are searching on (HPD:HelpDesk) is an OOTB form, all OOTB fields will be listed in the Administrator view. From there you can add the field to another view, but I would be weary of problems caused by inadvertently hitting save or creating performance issues by creating another view.

I do a new view and pull all the fields into it. That way if something inadvertently crashes or messes up, I don't have to worry about it affecting the main form. Take care, Mary Dollus generationE Technologies ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ben Cantatore Sent: Friday, March 07, 2008 9:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Find a field by ID ** Melissa, Just do the following: 1. Go into the form you want to find the field on 2. Select Form\current view\fields in view from the menu 3. Highlight all the fields on the left and then click add this will push them all to the right side 4. Click ok 5. You'll have a mess in the upper left hand corner of the screen, use the find field or ID drop downs at the top to find the field you need. 6. Click Field properties after you've selected the field you need and look up the name 7. DON'T Save the form, exit and close without saving 8. Go back into the form and follow steps 1 and 2 and then push over only the field name that you've identified from step 6 Hope that helps.

Looking for a field on HPD:HelpDesk by the Field ID and it's not in the FindID drop down. Thanks!
