You'll need to exit out of the form designer and go to table builder.
Edit the dictionary items of the file you are trying to use and put something in the datatype field. If you're unsure about what datatype to use then just put in VARCHAR. I get this all the time as I do a lot of Arev to OI conversions and It drives me mad. Why it cares whether you have a datatype, I don't know. Maybe someone from Revelation can tell us why the form designer needs fields with a datatype. You have to exit the form while changing the dictionary as the form stores dictionary details related to it and it won't recognise your changes if you leave the form open. You'll need to recompile the form to use the new dictionary details.
