System Field Deletion

Question

Hi,
I have created a user defined table using coding with single field "typedesc".  When i see in the SQL server
there are two fields "Code" and "Name" is available.
But now i need to delete the field "Name" which has been created by the system automatically.
Please let me know how can i delete the Ssytem Field "Name" using coding. (or) i need to make this field as non mandatory.
Try
            oUserFieldsMD = Nothing
            oUserFieldsMD = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oUserFields)
            oUserFieldsMD.TableName = "@PSSIT_PMWCTYPE"
            oUserFieldsMD.Name = "typedesc"
            oUserFieldsMD.Description = "Type Desc"
            oUserFieldsMD.Type = SAPbobsCOM.BoFieldTypes.db_Alpha
            '    oUserFieldsMD.SubType = SAPbobsCOM.BoFldSubTypes.st_Quantity
            oUserFieldsMD.EditSize = 60
            lRetCode = oUserFieldsMD.Add
            If lRetCode <> 0 Then
                oCompany.GetLastError(lErrCode, sErrMsg)
                MsgBox(sErrMsg)
            Else
                MsgBox("Field: '" & oUserFieldsMD.Name & "' was added successfuly to " & oUserFieldsMD.TableName & " Table")
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
        End Try

Hi
You can set value to Name field ugual to Code field value.
Do it in the ItemEvent...
Private Sub SBO_ManageItemEvent(...)  Handle ItemEvent
If Not pVal.BeforeAction _
And pVal.EventType = et_ITEM_PRESSED _
And pVal.ItemUID.Equals("1") _     ' When you press "Ok" button
And MyForm_Validate(oForm) _    ' MyForm_Validate(oForm) is the function to validate data in your form (if eou need to do it)
Then
  ' USE 1 OF 2 EXAMPLES ...
  ' ...in the case of userdatasource
  oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Item("uName").Value = sCode
  ' ...in the case of dbdatasource
  oForm.DataSources.DBDataSources.Item("@YOUR_TABLE_NAME").SetValue("Name", 0, sCode)
End If
End Sub
this method work fine and I hope this can be the solution for you.
