John, Thanks for caution. btw we need a descriptive flexfield with minimal validation. also the email entered by the Payables Clerk would be queried and processed by an external homegrown delphi app, so i am not sure what Custom code in 10.7 u r referring to.
i do hv a test database which i can break. came to know that we do pay membership fees to OAUG. just need to find who is NOT using the OAUG resources and get the login info. just listened to the flexfield class on ilearning. need to learn more about FlexBuilder. Would appreciate any links other than manual :) on descriptive flexfields. -Mandar -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 5:48 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Mandar, > Anyone using a flexfield for Supplier's email address in 10.7NCA AP? > We want to record an email for the Supplier which we can use > to send PO.

Are you sure you are the one who is asked to do this? This should fall under the realm of a 'Functional' person. And what about the Custom code that will be required to process this field? That will be the realm of a 'Technical' person (read "Developer" in Apps-ese). Changing Flexfields is not a trivial issue and is certainly not something a 'normal' DBA should do... And you _have_ to stick to the Apps guidelines, which are numerous. In other words, this is like asking a automobile driver to modify the blueprints of a car. This is not to discourage you, but maybe the Organization should get someone who has to fill these roles... More details at www.oaug.org and of course the manuals!
