In an alternate approach, you can utilize the Field table to find the Field ID by setting a range on the Field Name... here's the example code..
var Fieldlist: Record Field; begin Fieldlist.SetFilter(FieldName, 'YourFieldName'); if (Fieldlist.FindSet()) then Message('Field No. is %1', Fieldlist."No.") end;

Additionally, you can specify the table name before the Field Name filter..

Regards!
