getItemById including select statement possible?

Hi Chris, thanks for explanation! Didn´t know about the different between the server and client version. I made some very quick test with the ItemType Manufacturer:

var manunfacturer = aras.getItemById("Manufacturer", myId ,0,undefined,"name");
var name = aras.getItemProperty(manunfacturer, "name","empty");     
var city = aras.getItemProperty(manunfacturer, "city","empty");

In my version, the select statement stil seems to be ignored. The code will return both "name" and "city", also "city" is not included in the select statement. Angela
