user datatypes

Does BusinessObjects support user defined datatypes? I built a universe from some Sybase (System 11) SQL Server tables which have user defined datatypes. In Reporter, when I try to run a query which joins the fields that use these datatypes, I get the following error message:
INCOMPATIBLE COMBINATION OF OBJECTS .
When I take the join out of the query, the query runs fine.

Has anyone used user dataypes within BO? Is there something special I should do in the Designer module to get BO to recognize these datatypes?

Thanks for any advice!

Have you defined the object’s data type within the objects Properties window within Designer? If you double click on the object within Designer, you go into the Definition tab, there is a field called Type: where you select the objects data type. This datatype needs to match the datatype defined within the database tables.

Hope this helps.
