Hi, thanks for responding so quickly! I don't see the fields I created in the Tools, Define Fields dialog. I sorted by field type to be sure. I did verify the layout type is Contact.
For example, I created a field of type phone called Direct-Phone. There was already a field of type Character called Direct. The client uses Direct as a phone field, but he wants it formatted so the phone number is automatically entered with a parenthesis around the area code and dashes inserted in the rest of the phone number. That occurs in the Phone type fields. Since I still don't see Direct-Phone in Tools, Define Fields or in the layout field picker, I tried creating it again. I get an error message as follows;
TBL_PICKLISTITEM_TRI1: This field exists in another view. Address, email, and phone fields must be unique. To continue, give this field a new name. The transaction ended in a trigger. The batch has been aborted.
In the Tools, Define Fields dialog, I checked the Groups field list just to be safe. Nothing there, either.
So this is really driving me nuts. The fields I added are there, but I can't get to them!
