I am so very sorry Razzak I just can't seem to get this to work. This is a menu form with buttons. Each button has the same eep on it.
I a cut and past of your command below, traced the eep and I either get .RBTI_Form_ColName returned as the var value or the first column name for 2nd table region. The form has a dummy tab where the buttons are associated, so they are in focus. I have a 2nd tab with a region at the bottom of the form. With the second table / region on the form I get the first col name of that 2nd table. If I delete the region and table then I get .RBTI_Form_ColName returned as the value of the var vFieldName. What on earth am I missing? I even tested this on a new form, added a button and traced the same eep. I still can't get the button name returned. I down loaded the newest RBase files and unzipped them to the RBg7 folder. If I go to Help/About Rbase I see Build 7.0.66.21114 at the top and v7.0(7.001xRTo4) at the bottom again sorry marc > > SET VAR vFieldName = .RBTI_Form_ColName > > Using the Next Generation R:BASE 7.0 for Windows, > you also have > the following options: > > RBTI_Form_FormName to get the form name > RBTI_Form_TblName to get the table name > RBTI_Form_ColName to get the column name > RBTI_Form_ColValue to get the column value > RBTI_Form_VarName to get the variable name > RBTI_Form_VarValue to get the variable value > RBTI_DBGrid_Column to get the DB Grid column name > > Enjoy the Unbounded Possibilities with > Industrial-Strength, > Multi-User, True-Relational DBMS. > > Very Best R:egards, > > Razzak. > > > At 02:14 PM 11/13/2003 -0800, Marc Schluter wrote: > > >This should be simple but I can't seem to get it to > >work. > > > >I have a menu form with buttons.
