    I have added a field to a custom table (that was designed in dbdef and lawson knows about) and I cannot make it appear on a portal form in which other fields from this table are displayed. The textbox displays and accepts data but does not store it.

    In doing the setup I cannot set the data source for this textbox. The only choice I get is "None" and I am not allowed to select anything.

    Any Ideas? TIA

      Adding a field to dbdef does not autmatically make it available to any forms. You have to add the field definition in the .scr and code in the PD lib to handle the field to be able to update its value. This is why it does not show up in the dropdown list of fields in Design Studio.

        Did you run the scrgen and XML scrgen programs?

          OK I will add a line for the new field in the PD file and compile it.

          Do I just edit the .scr file with the new fields name?
