One of the more lightly requested modifications to the Customers form in Syteline was for there to be a way to tell how long someone had been a customer (for credit check purposes). I rigged this up to work by first adding a field for CreateDate to the Customers form (which is easy since it’s already in the IDO for the form):

I then execute a SQL query to change the CreateDate to be the “customer since” date (going forward these should be the same, but for legacy customers the date would just be whenever they were added to the database):

UPDATE customer_mst SET CreateDate='1/1/20' WHERE cust_num='TEST' AND site_ref='TESTDB';
