UserDefinedFieldsMD

UserFieldsMD object is for the actual creation and maintainence of the fields themselves.

e.g. adding a field to the Business Partner table:

'// Set the Fields' mandatory properties

    oUserFieldsMD.TableName = "OCRD" '// BP table
    oUserFieldsMD.Name = "UserField1"
    oUserFieldsMD.Description = "A user field"
    oUserFieldsMD.Type = db_Alpha '// am alphanumeric type
    oUserFieldsMD.EditSize = 20

    '// Add the field to the table
    oUserFieldsMD.Add

To actually enter or retireve values from a UDF, you access them through the object:

oBusinessPartner.GetByKey("C00001")
Dim value As String = oBusinessPartner.UserFields.Item("U_UserField1").Value.ToString()

It works in the same way for other Business Objects.
