Is it possible to change the "Record Link" Functionality?

Draqos

Hi everyone,

Just got this crazy ideea of addind a new field in the Record Link table, and than displaying it on the standard Record Link form. I went directly to SQL to do that, but I can't seem to succeed.
Anybody has any words of wisdom or should I just drop it :-k ?

Hi Draqos,
I think adding the field to the table is not a problem, but modifying the form to display it could be hard (since the form can't be designed).
A workaround could be to write OnLookup code on one of the fields in the table that will open a card form (new form) containing that extra field.
Newer tried it, but it should be possible to get it to work this way (maybe not the best way, but a still a way ).

Thanks a lot for the reply.
I wanted to "pimp" the Record Link into a very basic document management system, but, as you said, it is very hard to change a "non-changeable" form.
I am having trouble with the fields also - what I mean is I cant figure out how to trick NAV to see a field I manually added in the table (directly from SQL).

Guess it was a crazy ideea after all
