Accessing Custom Fields via the API

I'm unable to access the data in one of our custom fields in the opportunity table. I submitted a support call over a week ago and I have yet to receive an answer.

I'm using the Query filter VB.NET example, and I've included in the selectlist the name of my custom field.

(SelectList.Add("00N20000000gyne")

Each time I run execute the app, I receive a "bad field name" error. Could this be permission related?

Thanks,

OT

Hi OT,

You need to use the custom field name given by the describe call which begins with cf_.
