The custom screens are layouts on the names file. The custom table creates a
whole new table and you have to do a lot of work to relate it to the other
files. Most people need to deal with the screens not the tables. The custom
screen is especially useful during the import phase where you have a lot of
other information in your old database that needs to find a home in eBase.
We created a lot of fields to contain this data and have since been writing
scripts to parse it and set various native eBase fields.
