Dexterity added new field on form *.cnk file won't merge

Posted on by 20

Hi guys.

I am new on GP.I been in ms dynamics nav almost for 10 years but for me it is first time to dealing with GP.

I try to add custom field on "RM_Customer_Maintenance" form on the way it is described in some earlier post (link)

https://community.dynamics.com/gp/f/32/t/106975,and after that creating *.cnk file like it is described on this site (link)  www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm.

Probably  I am not doing this right because when I start GP on "Customer Maintenance" form  new field does not show.I have no idea any more so I take a screen shoots of my whole action adding new field in hopes that somebody help me to resolve this.

12). Then "Auto-Chunk".

13). Then create *.cnk file (in my case named Dyn.cnk).

14). Starting GP (after copy *.cnk file in GP folder).

15). But "RM_Customer_Maintenance" form does not reflecting any changes.

16).I also change "Alternate/Modified forms and reports" like on the pic below.

I have three more questions.

Does this modification take any changes to previous modification because I am not first one who is doing some modification on this database.

Can I extend "customer web service" with this additional field.

Any suggestion for some good book for starting with GP.

Many Thanks.
