    follow these steps..........

    Install Tally developer...................

    Open Tally in developer mode............. "C:\Tally.ERP9\tally.exe /devmode" replace the path with your path.

    then go to "Inventory Info" ---> Stock Items -->> select ...... Create/Alter

    When you move your mouse pointer, it will give you tooltip and give you the field name.............

    Then open Tally Developer....search "Report :Stock Item"

    Then in that file search for the field where you need to input your field.

    You can also refer to SAMPLE files which comes along with Tally Developer..............

    Start making and following the code structure, sequence and format and you will learn that way.

    I couldn't find the Report :Stock Item File in TD search. Is it because i am using the TD9 Demo version?

    Press Ctrl+D and then input search parameters............

    Ctrl+F will search only within a open file.

    I tried that. But only get this result:
    Found:"(0)" matches for "Report :Stock Item"

    The one i get in TD is a default TDL file. If I edit this file and set this as a TDL file in tally it gives error : Duplicate description name Report-'Stock Item' in user TDL.

    I guess am doing it wrong. Should I be editing the 'actual' file tally is using or only write codes in a tdl and add it to Tally to get effect?

    for a beginner never change default codes............

    always make ...and add your own parts/lines/fields

    And ALWAYS work on tally data.........or a copy of the data....

    If i make any change in the Default TDL in Tally Developer, will it effect in Tally as well? or should i make a tdl/tcp/txt file and connect it in Tally thru Manage TDL menu?

    you cannot make change to default TDL..... you need to copy whole code or part code as u need..............

    On your desktop make a new shortcut........... and in the application path you can use this...... rename the shortcut as "tally in developer mode"

    So you have option to run both tally in normal mode as well as developer mode..............
