Question about labels
Hi all!, Anybody knows if the labels of a regular form are stored in any place of the server, or on a particular table (of the Database)?. Thank you very much!. Alberto ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug10 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: Where the Answers Are
Re: Question about labels
Of course, it must be stored in the db. Else how would the ARS server know them? Labels are view based. That is: each view can have a different label for the same field. When a form is saved, if the default view changes, the labels are subject to change. This makes queries (which accept labels and field ids - but NOT field names) ugly to read in multi-language shops. Meta-Update queries can use field ids, labels, or names. Check out the Database Reference Guide manual for where field labels are stored. Sorry, I don't know the view tables off the top of my head as I use the API for that type of info and I've never had to adjust views tables for problems I've had to fix.

Re: Question about labels
Hi Ben!. First, thanks a lot for your answer. I realized not to take a look to the document DB reference guide. The question is for making reports with a tool that takes the data directly to the Remedy Data Base. It's for a collegue, but your information is very useful!. Thank you very much again!
