It should but it does not. That is, the field MYNEWFLD does appear in the dropdown list with both the ID_FIELD and the DESC_FIELD. But the first character of the DESC_FIELD appears all over the place. This is because DLL ignores the spaces I use to pad the field ID_FIELD. And I use mono spaced font (Courier New), so I am baffled to what is going on there.
