Vince,
Open your database as table and see what is the ID for that table:
USE YourDataBase.DBC
SET FILTER TO ALLTRIM(ObjectType) == [Table] AND LOWER(ALLTRIM(ObjectName)) == [apinvitems]
lnId = ObjectId
SET FILTER TO ParentId == lnId
BROWSE NORMAL
That will give you information what is stored in DB for that table. You must find that some of the fields are not stored there.

The only thing normal about database guys is their tables.
