Don't have an answer for you, but UD doesn't have that like UniVerse does. And no, you don't have to define all of the attributes to be able to see all of the ones you define.
Are they all showing in the view in VSG? Caryl -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anthony W.

Or do you need to put the others back? I doubt it, actually :-) You don't mention running something like HS.UPDATE. I'm *guessing* that UD is similar to UV, and I'm *guessing* that what is happening is that ODBC is going down its stored list of fields exporting them to Excel or whatever, and it still remembers what was field 6. It hits it, errors, and goes no further. Not knowing UD, I don't know what VSG is. But on UV, ODBC is provided by the old HyperStar (hence HS) software, and after editing the dictionary you needed to rerun HS.UPDATE to get it to cache the new dictionary definition. It seems to make sense that your export software still remembers the old field 6, errors, and can't get past it. Cheers, Wol -- Anthony W. Youngman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 'Yings, yow graley yin!
