Hello guys,

I have just made some adjustments: created new field in form to enter information, updated logic to take the value and save together with other values in HcmEmployment table, as well as creating additional field in that table for the new value. Everything built well, but as I try to access it through client, I get "The menu item with name hcmworkerlistpage could not be opened". Thanks for ideas in advance.

What do you exactly mean by check :) ? I found menu in AOT and all the menuItems (HcmWorkerListPage_Employees, HcmWorkerListPage_Contractors, HcmWorkerListPage_Workers, etc) but they contain nothing. BTW, I cannot open none of them, I think it might be related to the changed HcmEmployment table, since all menuItems use that table.

Does it happen also when you run the menu item from Visual Studio?

Have you tried to debug the form, such as adding a breakpoint at the beginning of init()?

As I debug, I see that that the created new field in the HcmEmployment table (WorkerCategory) has some problem, maybe its not visible or smt: [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]Invalid column name 'WORKERCATEGORY'.

You might have done it already, but just to confirm have you synchronized the DB after adding the new field?

To give you some explanation, just adding a field in Visual Studio doesn't automatically change the database. You need the synchronization to apply your changes to database, such as running ALTER TABLE command to add your new field. You can configure VS to run synchronization on build, but it slows down builds, so people usually prefer doing it manually when needed.

What happened was that the form knew it should display your new field and asked the database for it, but it didn't exist there.
