Get(ActiveFieldTableName)

Category: Get

Syntax: Get ( ActiveFieldTableName )

Parameters: None

Data type returned: Text

Description:

Returns the name of the table occurrence for the field in which the cursor is currently placed.

Note that the table occurrence name (from the Relationships Graph) is returned, rather than the source table name.

Note that in the case where the cursor is not placed in a field, a blank value is returned, as opposed to a question mark.

When using Get() functions within field definitions, in most cases you should set the storage option to be "unstored" so that the field always displays current data.
