    I would like to create a UDF at the module level. I can create tabs on the Options panels, but the only field you can add is a link field. I am looking to add a UDF to store a drop down list that I can use in a script or external program. If you can't store on the module options panel, where would you recommend?

    Gary, Sounds to me like you need to create a UDT. Then you can just maintain the list in UDT Maintenance. The UDT can be associated with whichever module you'd prefer.

    UDT is what you want. Create the UDT first, then the UDF. UDF has to match the UDT key field size so you can link the two together. Add the UDT to the menu so users can maintain it. You can also use this UDT to validate multiple UDF's

    Thanks, I had thought of UDT, but then they are not in the module and then you have to go into Role maintenance and grant security, yada yada yada. More training and documentation...yich

    True. A tad more steps to make it work but WAY less work to maintain additions/deletions to the table. Plus you can turn the maintenance over to the client. I wish they would have been available from the get go. I have one client that I should retrofit some UDF's, but it appears to be a major PITA.
