As I say, verbose column names indeed. But when you use the form wizard against that table you get nice meaningful labels. Same for reports. None of that, run the wizard now go back and select each label and change the string from, for example, "DateClosed" to "Date case closed" - no need, it's much more likely the form is 'as desired' when the wizard is finished then not.
It is true for languages where use only English alphabet A-Z a-z, but in more languages where using accented letters, such as in Hungarian áéíúóöőüű. For the field names using only English letters, but in labels desired to use meaningful Hungarian phrases. It means, every label must be edited at least once when creating Forms.
Form wizard could be the best place for editing labels, (it is RFE?)
A few days ago Villeroy said that he doesn't use the GUI query designer - he prefers to type in the SQL commands directly - for him then those column names would be a pain in the rump IMO. But again, I think not using the GUI tools must be looked at as the great exception with regards to the target users. The average Base user is going to use the GUI query designer, the same for the report creation tools. In report builder, drag that column onto the report and there you go - no extra edit to the label is needed.
Same for reports labels. Zoltan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
