what fields are shown in a form

madalina · 2006-09-12

Hello everybody,

Does anybody know if there is a way of knowing what fields from a table are shown in a list form for example? Is there a hidden table or something that keeps evidence of such a thing?

thanks in advance.

Dear Madalina,

I wonder if such a functionality exist in Navision. There is no hidden table as such.

Also please elaborate the purpose , some forum member may advice a alternative solution.

Best Regards,

There is no such thing as far as I know of. You can export the form to a txt file and examine this.

What is the purpose?

You could click View->Show Column and write down the names then
press Tools->Zoom and see which fields are not shown.

The purpose is :
I have made an export to excel from a list form. But the client wants only the fields that are shown in the form. Those fields may change. The client might want one day to view a few more fields in that form, or maybe hide some fields that are shown now. That's why I wondered if there is a way of knowing which fields from a table are shown in a form.
Can you help?

Hi Madakina

You can copy & paste into excel from the list form

You can know which fields are shown on a form,but you need this instruction for each field:

MESSAGE('Shown=%1',currform."The Field".VISIBLE);

And if your field is not a field of the sourcetable of the form, you need to give the field a name (=Field property Name).
