What table is a window bound to? (AREV Specific)

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.

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.

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

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
