Has anyone done, or knows how to code the changes necessary to increase the Alpha fields from 10 to say 15 characters? Has anyone done this? Or any other way to attach a field longer than ten characters to an employee if thats not easy, or potentially desruptive to standard Lawson HR processing?

You will need to change the column length/user fields with dbdef first. Then probably needs to change all the programs that calls to the user fields to the customized length. Alot of work and a patch could wipe out some of the customizations. Not worthed in my opnion.

Jimmy: Any suggestions then? Secondary table? COMPANY, EMPLOYEE, USR FIELD?
Anyone else have any ideas? I need to be able to make it easy for the user community to edit and tie to an employee's EMPLOYEE record.
