Internal Vendor & Customer nbrs

Wayne,

One other possible solution to make it visible through Vantage is to set up
a vb form field for the vendor and customer files and have a vb form field
display the value.

Hey Tim... Is there any place in the normal Vantage screens that the
internal ID number is visible? Or any "magic key" you guys use for
debugging that will show such behind the scenes data?

Some vendor reports I mess with have a big enough speed advantage selecting
on the number rather than the ID, that I go to the trouble to run a
preliminary report to look up the numbers (plus keep a list of the common
ones.) sure would be nice to have easier lookup available.

-Thanks
Wayne

Wayne,

The numbers are not shown on any screen or report. Normally I keep an export
for vendors and customers up to date for report writing purposes.
