IS THERE A WAY TO INCLUDE THE COMPONENT DESCRIPTION TO THE WIRE FROM TO REPORT?

I AM WANTING TO INCLUDE THE DESCRIPTION BECAUSE I NEED A WAY TO DISTINGUSH BETWEEN MULTIPLES OF THE SAME COMPONENTS WHEN THEY ARE IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. EX. I HAVE SET THE LOCATION CODE FOR 20 LIGHTS TO "FIELD." EACH LIGHT HAS A UNIQUE NAME THAT DESCRIBES ITS LOCATION "MOTOTR XYZ LIGHT" I DO NOT WANT TO GIVE EACH OF THEM DIFFERNT LOCATION CODES BECAUSE THEN I WOULD HAVE TO CREATE A TAG TO PUT ON THE JUNCTION BOX THAT RELATES TO THE COMPONENT.

IF THERE IS A BETTER WAY OF DOING THIS PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I REALLY DONT WANT TO HAVE TO GENERATE THE TAGS AND TAG NAMES

I HAVE SAW THE LISP ROUTINE IN "WIREFROM/TO REPORT" DATED 07-15-2004

I HAVE NOT TRIED TO GET THIS TO WORK SINCE IT SEEMS OUTDATED

I AM RUNNING AE 2013

ALSO, 

HOW DO I CHANGE THE NAME OF THE USER 1 FIELD IN THE DEFAULT_CAT?

THANK YOU

Hi,

For your second question, use ACCESS.

Open the default_cat.mdb and rename the fiels USER1 in every family table.

Best regards

Thank you, changing the name in each table worked
