Is there any repercussion from using a field ID like 11 in a custom build form? This field ID is the Company field ID in the COM:Company form and I wanted to build a 'staging/integration' form to accept data using AIE, process it if necessary, before I push it to the 'Load' form. To

This is a custom form (that will stage data to massage it if required and then push to the Load forms), so BMC won't be touching it unless off course if by chance they happen to name a form that starts with STG: followed by the exact same name I use :-). Then I'll be pretty much shot down :-).

Joe, Deployable Applications were not overlayable in 7.6.04. They were added to the things you could overlay in the 8.0 release so they are overlayable in 8.0 and later. And, with 8.1 you get granular overlays and so a lot finer control of things. So, TWO reasons to upgrade the platform!
