I need to be able to create a custom field called "CustomFieldProjectStatus" using QODBC if it does not already exist. Is it possible?
Thanks,
Kelly |

Custom Fields can only be created and defined within QuickBooks using the user interface. The Label names can also be modified at any time also. When editing a Customer, click on the Additional Info tabpage:
Click on the [ Define Fields ] button and create and modify your Custom Fields as required:
In QODBC the Custom Field Label appears as: CustomFieldname (with the name of the custom field, without spaces, as shown in QuickBooks) as can be seen in VB Demo by running:
sp_columns Customer
To determine the Custom Field names via programming, just do:
Const adUseClient = 3
rs.CursorLocation = adUseClient
strSQL = "sp_tables"
'Open rs
rs.Open strSQL, cnConnection, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly
And loop through the recordset for each table:
then:
strSQL = "sp_Columns """ & sTableName & """"
'Open rs
rs.Open strSQL, cnConnection, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly
And spin through the columns for that table.
