Managing Database Records
Managing an OmniForm Database 189
For example, suppose you export information in the fields
Customer,
Title,
and
Product,
in that order. You have the same field information in
the import database, but the fields are named
What Bought
,
Name,
and
Position,
in that order. You could link
Customer
Name
/
Title
Position
/
Product
What Bought

different names and field order would be difficult and time-consuming.
See Chapter 4, “Designing a Form,” for information on naming and
reordering fields.
