Locating information about a field

To view field help, position your cursor in a field, right-click and then select field help. A window of information about the field pops up.

The information includes help about the field as well as database name of the field, either a four- or six-character sequence. For example, if you view field help for the "Schedule no. field in form MOS199, you will see "SCHN (W1SCHN)" as the database field name where "W1" is the prefix that identifies the table that contains the field and "SCHN" is the name of the field.

Note: Not all fields show the table prefix; some contain just the four-letter field name.
