Dale, Doing our best to get away from Overlays. In fact when a form is converted to Custom you can't create an Overlay.
Yes, we understand the rule of thumb. As in the past using a newer version of admin tool is not something we do without serious consideration.

May want to try in Base Mode. May want to try in a Dev Studio version with the same version as Server. (Rule of thumb is newer versions of Dev Studio will try to introduce features that Older Version of ARS server will not be aware of and not know how to handle.)

We went through several discussions with Jason Miller before we upgraded. He was assured by Dev Studio developers that using a newer version is backward compatible. We needed to upgrade to 8.1 to get us out of a corner that we had been painted into with 7.6.04 Dev Studio. 7.6.04 had several shortcomings once an "unmodified" form had an overlay added. Since the forms were home grown from previous versions of the AR System we decided to go to convert them to "custom" forms. 7.6.04 Dev Studio does not have the ability to delete an Overlay which needs to be done before converting.

So there might be something with the 8.1 developer that is not compatible.

Not sure it's me or something with Dev Studio. Using 8.1 Dev Studio against a 7.6.04 server (Windows app server running on Oracle). We have a form that has two Attachment Pool fields on the form. I'm attempting to move the fields to a Tab on a page field. Drag and Drop doesn't seem to allow me to move the fields there. On a regular field, I can right mouse click and use the Move field option. However with an Attachment field, I don't see that option. I can create a new Attachment pool field on the tab but I can't seem to move an exist one. Am I missing something obvious?
