Is there any easy way of finding out what table a window is bound to within the PAINT process?



Using a window I built, the only thing that I could find that told me which table was linked to it was under the REMOVE TABLE option.  Needles to say that is not one I would like to get fumbled fingered on.



The only other way that I've found to get that information is thru the statement:



LIST WINDOWS USING SYSWINDOWS JUSTLEN 30 WC_DATAFILE JUSTLEN 30 BY @ID



In looking at the WC_DATAFILE symbolic, I figured out where to look within a particular windows row when I EDIT it.



Is there an easier way of finding the table name on a window?



Thank you for your time,

Michael Slack

Select any databound prompt then Shift-F10. This will tell you the table that the prompt is bound to.

<QUOTE>Besides Don's stuff, Window Common is also active during Paint, so you could hack a menu and place an option that displays the menu.

<QUOTE>Glance down at the status line while you are in paint.

The name of the table appears there.

At least it does in version 3.12

<QUOTE>Thanks for the information. It will be very helpful and cut down on the extra work of finding the windows table names.



I'm just glad it wasn't a snake.  I must be going blind not to see the table name at the bootom of the screen as Janie pointed out.  The tip Don gave will be a big help.



Thanks again,

Michael Slack
