Category: Design

Syntax: TableIDs ( fileName )

Parameters: fileName ”a string or text expression that represents the name of an open file.

Description: Returns a carriage return “delimited list of table occurrence IDs from the specified file.

Examples:

 TableIDs (Get (FileName)) 

Returns a list of table occurrence IDs for the current file that might look like this:

 100021 100049 100002 

Comments:

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 .
