Hi Shanghai,

shouldn't be a big problem.

make a standalone DIAPI application that uses the

UserFieldsMD Object with GetByKey and Update.

thats it

shangai,

David is correct.

Also don't forget to update the UDO registry in case one of the UDF you added needs to appear in the ChooseFromList DataTable.

Hi David & vitor,

Thanks for ur replies...i have written below code for making the patch file....

 oUserFieldMD = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oUserFields)
                oUserFieldMD.TableName = "TYP1"
                oUserFieldMD.Name = "TYPCode"
                oUserFieldMD.Description = "Type Code"
                oUserFieldMD.Type = SAPbobsCOM.BoFieldTypes.db_Alpha
                oUserFieldMD.EditSize = 15
                '<----Edited code --->
                oUserFieldMD.Mandatory = BoYesNoEnum.tYES
                oUserFieldMD.DefaultValue = "a"
                '<----Edited code--->
                LRetCode = oUserFieldMD.Add
