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.
