Updating menus in EB2.1

[lmjking]

I am trying to customise the menus by updating the menu labels in the mnd_det table. No matter what I do they keep reverting to the values that the product ships with. Am I doing something wrong? Am going to try and change a menu lable using the menu maintenance program and see if that works. but I can't sit and update hundreds of menu labels this way...

Help...

Hi there

Yep you are changing the wrong file.

The table you must modifiy is mnt_det.
The selection of mnd_det including the language of the menus.

Help...

The menu labels as they appear to a user reside in mnt_det. mnt_det and mnd_det are synchronized for example by the menu maintenance program. Therefore, it works there and not in your example routine. This is a _very_ old feature (+10 years).
May I advice to analyze QAD Apps intensively in advance of any customizing approaches...

Cheers,
Peter

Thanks for the responses. I eventually stumbled across this once they supplied me with table definitions. Upgrading from V8 to EB2.1 and have received very little help from QAD.
