When you log into Developer Studio 7.6.04, by default it opens in the Best Practice Customization View [BP] I am not sure as to why you had to switch mode to get into the BP mode In BP view you should be able to select a base [unmodified] object and use right context menu option "Create Overlay" You do mention below that the create overlay option is grayed out, can you check if you already had an overlay for that object created maybe because you had the BPCU utility run as part of the upgrade process
Once you create an overlay of a form, please also create overlay of the view [using menu option Create View overlay] and then you can create field.

I believe understand the overlay concept. I log in and I switch to "Best Practice Mode" to create an overlay. However, everything is grayed out. When I select "create overlay" it is grayed out. When I select "create field" it is grayed out. I am trying to add a field in the CHG:Infrastructure Change (Change Management) task table. I ready the Forms and Concepts guide regarding the overlays. Why can not I not modify the workflow. In previous versions, I just select the two fields, and click the arrow to add the fields to the table. Now even the arrows are grayed out so I am not able to drag the fields over. My access is Administrator. Why is this behaving this way? Is there some critical step that I am missing? _attend WWRUG11 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug11 www.wwrug.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are"
