In the Object Browser, it would be excellent to have the option to set the Description of a field. The only way that I have found to add a customized description to a field property is to modify the Designer.vb directly. This works fine but all of your work is lost the next time the Object mapper is run. I found that I could also add custom code to every field but that is more work and I'm way lazy! BigGrin

It would also be helpful to have a combo-box of common Null Alternatives (String.Empty, Nothing, 0, False) so it doesn't have to be typed in each time unless the value is unusual.

Thanks!

Clay

Clay,



Yes, that has been an enhancement request, as well as the ability to rename fields (database column is "cust_fname" and the property created is "FirstName"). It's in the works Smile
