It would appear that there are unmapped 'string' fields (specifically:
'fileasname') within the BusinessUnit table that would be suitable for
my companies' use, however I am unable to find any simple means of
inserting them into the Business Unit form.

What suggested, and probably unsupported, methods might I use?

Jim,

It seems the the BusinessUnit table is locked down and isn't able to be
customized in a supported manner. If you look at the Entity table in the
Metabase DB, you will notice that there is a column IsCustomizable there. For
the BusinessUnit, this value is 0. You could try changing this to 1 to see what
happens.

If it does end up allowing changes, then I would recommend adding a new field vs
using an existing one. That way you will minimize the risk of an issue on the
upgrade. You will then also be able to modify the form using the following
link:

http://CRMSERVER/tools/formEditor/formEditor.aspx?objectTypeCode=10


I have no idea if this will work and this is definately not supported.

With just a couple quick tweaks to the Entity table/column
permissions, this worked like a charm.

Many thanks,
Jim
