Hi CNC2065 

 

Thanks for clarifying where this was happening. I suspect this is a limitation of the Card List view. When selecting Columns to include, the default column names appear. I suspect the same thing would happen with an export.

 

If you need this in a report, right click and use Copy List to Clipboard, paste into excel and adjust column headings as required.

 

Regards

Gavin

Thanks for replying.  I won't waste more time trying to work out how to change the heading.  The whole point of adding the column was so I could easily see when the employee started.  Not being able to change the column heading means I, or anyone else viewing it, will have to remember what the dates mean.

Surely MYOB could fix this as otherwise it seems pointless allowing you to customise the field in the first place.
