Editing Matrix 38 UDF Column

[Former Member]

I'm trying to modify a UDF column in the lines of a sales order (item 38, matrix).

Since I defined valid values for that UDF, the column is of type ComboBox, and so I can use the .Select method to update this UDF's value.

The problem is when the user choses to make this column invisible, or even uneditable (using the standard settings button). In this case, the .Select method would not work, I get a 'invalid valid value' exception.

Is there a way around this?

I guess not. You can not set the dbDatasource cause you are working on a system form.

What you can do is to proof if the Column is editable/visible. And if not, you set it.
