Just an idea. Have you set the focus to the slave table in the button before the property commands?
PROPERTY fieldinslavetable SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' PROPERTY photo CaptureFromVideo 'true' PROPERTY TABLE tablename 'refresh' Setting the focus to one of the fields should change to that table.

On the form for that table, we have a DBImage column located that displays a photo from that column. We have a "take picture" button that basically does a PROPERTY photo CaptureFromVideo 'true' PROPERTY TABLE tablename 'refresh' This works great, the "capturefromvideo" immediately launches our application to take a photo and saves it in the column. This is what isn't working: We have a different situation where the Long Varbit column is going to be in a slave table rather than the main table. There is one linking column, and we made sure that there is one row in the slave table for that linking value. There will be just one row in the slave table per the link. I have a DBImage located for that slave table's column, and a button like the above that does a CaptureFromVideo using its componentID But clicking on it doesn't launch the application at all. So it's not that it doesn't save a photo, it doesn't even attempt to launch. Believe me, we've checked all the usual suspects -- wrong componentIDs, etc. We also put a Long Varbit directly into the main table, and that works just fine. Just not when it's in a slave table. Can anyone tell me whether this should work in a slave table? Thanks a bunch! Karen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBASE-L" group.
