Is it possible to hide fields in the GenericMasterData Forms and Special Forms (i.e. Person) in Manager without editing Default Rights? v6/v8

Question

Hi, the question is for V6 and V8 
 Is it possible to hide fields in the GenericMasterData Forms and Special Forms (i.e. Person) in Manager without editing Default Rights? 
 I tried something with DialogColumn.Columngroup and Sortorder but this does not work as expected. 
 I think there was a pretty easy way but i do not remember. 
 Thank you in advance.

You have to put some code in the OnLoaded-Event of the tables in question. The code is from version 8 but should work in 6 as well. ' Should work in version 6 and up ' Hide a property if it is not coming via a sync If Not CBool(Connection.Variables("FULLSYNC")) Then Base.Columns("").CanShow = False End If ' Version 8 only ' Hide a property if it is not coming via a sync ' and the logged in user has no system privileges like the service accounts. If Not CBool(Connection.Variables("FULLSYNC")) And Not Connection.User.IsAdministrativeAccount Then Base.Columns("").CanShow = False End If
