Great idea, Thom! We all expect you to export your customization and
share it with the group now. ;-)

Subject: RE: [Vantage] Keeping track of user defined fields
Here's a thought. Why not devote a UD table to a list of UD fields?
Personally, I keep the list on an Excel workbook, but I kind of like
what I'm preaching more than what I'm practicing. Use one key field as
the table name, and another key field as the field name to prevent
duplicate use of a table/field combination. You could easily put
together an entry form, and a quick BAQ report to list the assignments.
As soon as I have a couple of spare hours, I think I'm going to migrate
from my Excel workbook to this setup.

We keep a document with what fields are used and for what. It's the
best we can do since there is no way to track it in Epicor.

Same here.
You can run queries to see if the fields have values, but I don't know
of
any faster way to check.
Something like
FOR EACH <Table> WHERE Char01 <> "" AND Char02 <> "" .....
just add all the custom fields and change the table each time.
