A Proposed Convention for the Extended use of the Name Attribute

This is really useful in your templates Bruce, but I want to give everyone a heads up on an issue with the IP Driver.

Whenever I add External Name Attribute in the dct to the Field of a Table used by the IP Driver I get some strange behaviour:
a) Filters are ignored - This happens when using dts, sts etc. for NetTalk data sync or MyTable encryption
b) Some tables disappeared from the IP Driver dll altogether while others lost their Prefix and thus cannot be accessed.

I don’t see this being fixed anytime soon by SV, so basically I have concluded that the Extended Name Attribute should NOT be used in IP Driver applications.

Hope this is helpful
Carl
