Alain, The missingfields.xml is used to modify existing tables to add fields that are required by OpenPlant when synching. This is not necessarily used to add a complete set of fields to the tables. My suggestion to you is to modify the database tables and add the desired fields using your database engine. If you are running an Access project then you can add them via the Project Administrator. If using SQL Server then I suggest you add them manually or use a script to add the fields. An example script would be: USE Your Database Name GO ALTER TABLE DBO.INSTR ADD Your_Custom_Field_1 VARCHAR(30), Your_Custom_Field_2 VARCHAR(10), Your_Custom_Field_3 VARCHAR(25) The only time I use this table to modify the database structure is when I create a new Associated Item and need the related table created when I first perform a sync. An example would be a new Associated Item for Project Number. I might add a section as shown below. OPPID_PROJECT_NUMBER PROJECT_NUMBERID VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL PROJECTNUMBER VARCHAR(50) COMP_ID VARCHAR(50) I hope this helps, Tony DeRosa Bentley Plant
