Roy Lambert NLH Associates Team Elevate	What do the rest of you use this attribute of tables/columns for? I'm torn between: 1. technical info/reminder for me 2. hint for user 3. user friendly name when creating filters/selects rather than field names Roy Lambert

Steve Forbes Team Elevate	Hi Roy, I use it like it says .. a description from which Mike B's excellent Context Database Designer (and an XSLT I wrote) produces a nicely formatted data dictionary.
