Renaming Fields

edited December 2007 in End User
How can I renam the fields in the AutoSearch dialog? For example I want the
end user to see Last Name instead of LName.

    Hi Scott,

    In the fields tab Query Designer, you can click twice on the selected field
    alias name and alter it to something more understandable. The data
    dictionary can also be used to define field aliases for each field used in
    DADE by an end-user app. See the end-user demos located in the
    \RBuilder\Demos\End User\... directory for examples of this.

    Thanks! Double clikcing just adds and removes the field from the query. Am
    I not clicking in the right area?

    Click once, wait a second or two, then click again. Similar to renaming a
    file in the Windows Explorer.
