pcsoft.us.windevCopyright 2026, PC SOFT31 Oct 2014 11:06:42 Z30 Oct 2014 19:35:00 ZHi, I want to allow different companies who use a computer system I've written to choose different names for certain database fields. So, for example, I might have a field called ProductID, which has a caption in the Analysis set to 'Product', but a particular company might want to see this as 'Item' on every form and report it appears on. Currently I do this in code which examines the caption of every data field on every form and report as they open. I enclose the caption on the form/report in # (so e.g. #Product#) and then use string functions to replace it with the required value which I retrieve from a table. This works, but is complex and must slow the system down. Is there a better way of doing this?
