The type of fields supported in view forms wil vary depending on whether your AR server is using unicode or not. You will only be able to see nvarchar type fields in a view form if ARS is unicode - and vice versa.

I am not 100% sure if MS-SQL server supports varchar or varchar2 but if varchar doesn't work it has to be the other.. I know for certain nvarchar doesn't work. If varchar2 doesn't work as well, then you probably are addressing the wrong table or view? Is that table or view remote? Or is it local to the AR System database.. If it is local, then log in the MS-SQL client and type sp_help followed by the table or view name which will give you the structure of the table. Verify the structure is good and valid as far as the AR System requirements are concerned..

The 7.5 integration guide book (page174) I have said Sqlserver nvarchar is supported but apparently it is not..... Thanks for all the help!

Its either varchar or varchar2 or both. For MS-SQL specifically I think its varchar that is supported... If you can change the structure of the original table to match the data types that the AR System supports, you will get it working. There should be a matrix of supported data types in the admin guide in the section that discusses view forms against SQL views or tables..

Keep getting an "ARNOTE 5165 There are no columns in the table." There are plenty of columns in the table and they can be access using the same permission on the physical SQL server. Any suggestions on how to correct this? Thanks.
