Hi Erwin I haven't run into that issue, because any custom form that I create I always add a prefix to it. As you may know, the view alias of the form can be different from the form name, so you can exclude the prefix there. So that's what you should do, it's actually a best practice I don't think adding COM.<Company>. would do much benefit, and it would eat into the form name length . With overlays, we already have 3 characters less because of the __o, so your solution would take away another 8 characters. Keep chopping at it, and eventually we won't have much left!

Our implementations of the AR System already contain a Task table and in this way we are experiencing a conflict. The conflict could be fixed by renaming the Task table on our implementation, but this has consequences for our customers as the application does not stand alone and renaming the table has consequences for the integrations e.g. I would like to know who is experiencing the same issues or is expecting to. Next to this I would like to know why no naming convention, like is common in e.g. Java, is being used by the AR System. What could easily be achieved is a naming convention for the standard install that could be used for introducing new standard forms. For example if the standard install would use something like COM.BMC.<FormName> this could allow for preventing naming conflicts in our and your implementations. What do the other subscribers think about this approach? _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug11 www.wwrug.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are" _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug11 www.wwrug.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are"
