    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!
