Query: The error message Table: Field name missing is displayed when generating a Bill of Materials report
Answer: This will occur when your project contains part parameters with no names. It's OK for a parameter to have a blank value, but not a blank name. Use the Parameter Manager (Tools menu) to locate such parameters, which will be represented as columns with a blank header. You may assign a name to any parameters by right-clicking within the column and choosing Rename.
This has been fixed in Protel 2004
