Category: Design

Syntax: TableIDs ( fileName )

Parameters:

fileNameA string or text expression that represents the name of an open file.

Data type returned: Text

Description:

Returns a carriage returndelimited list of table occurrence IDs from the specified file.

Note that TableIDs() returns the IDs of table occurrences from the Relationships Graph, not the actual data tables. A database table may appear in the Relationships Graph more than once.

A unique TableID is assigned by FileMaker whenever a table occurrence is added to the Relationships Graph. The order of the IDs in the list is based on the alphabetic ordering of the table occurrence names themselves.

Examples:
