Hi

i need deploy for my  ( advanced ) clients an application for view / make
report on my DB.

I should to view at my client, not a True fieldname ,but a more easy name.

not on all fields...  but only on difficult fieldname.

My clients should to use ReportBuilder ( enduser ) Editor for create new
Report.


i don't want write this in my application src, only in DB.

Use the columns Description property.

> Use the columns Description property.

i have opened EDB Manager , alter table, find my field, add a DESCRIPTION on
my Field Property.

save.

open delphi , drop all edb comp. , add EDBtable , datasource  , grid ,

open table

i see the Original FieldName.
i don't see my description of the field in a header column of my field.

I wouldn't expect any different. ElevateDB isn't going to use the Description for you, you'll have to handle that yourself.
