I have just ordered the book, so I really know NOTHING! 

However, the one thing in my current project that seems difficult is that I want the users to be able to create ad-hock custom data fields.  This is a commercial application that will print government forms using the Active Reports End User Designer. 

The issue is that we do not have the resources to know all the forms and required data points that may be needed.  So we want to allow the users to create custom fields. 

Our current design is to create a field dictionary table and a table that holds the data, one row for each data point.

Does anyone have any suggestion on how to approach this in this framework?
