Re: Interesting Question on overlays
Personally I would never select against the T tables and always use the views – then I know you’ll definitely see your custom stuff. Regards, Andrew C.

Re: Interesting Question on overlays
Kiran, As someone has already mentioned, other than for your amusement and amazement, it is bad practice to access the T tables directly….. But, as it seems it is for your amusement in this question… Yes, when you create a custom field, it is added to the DB T table as a new C# column. When you access the table in base mode, you will not see it. In overlay mode, it is there. Now, you said you added two fields. Were they actual data fields? If they were display only fields, there is no DB field created so of course no new field would show up. Only real data fields would show up in the database table. Are you sure you are on the right table? It can get confusing sometimes when looking at T tables whether you are on the right table or not. And remember, you should be looking for C# (where # is the field ID) of the field NOT the field name. I hope this is useful, Doug Mueller From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Kiran Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2012 12:19 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Interesting Question on overlays ** Hi, This is an interesting question If i do a describe on a T table and if the table is an overlaid one, will i be able to see the custom optional fields that i have created on the form? ie T1234 is an ootb table.
