Well, I do not think this will work for what
I am trying to do or I can't seem to figure it out.
I want to have a generic EEP that gets the
field name or button's text caption name when
you click on either object. Then I will popup
a small form with a help message for that object.
EDIT USING helpform where objname = .vobjname
I tried using the same ComponentI for 3 buttons
but it kept getting the same button text caption no matter
which button I clicked.
Is this possible with 7.5 ?
I think I am still missing something.
