Get(ActiveFieldName)

Category: Get

Syntax: Get ( ActiveFieldName )

Parameters: none

Description: Returns the name of the field that currently contains the cursor.

Examples:

Get ( ActiveFieldName )

Returns Name_First when the cursor is in the Name_First field.

Comments:

Even when the active field is a related or unrelated field from another table, Get ( ActiveFieldName ) simply returns the field's name. It does not use the double- colon syntax "relationshipName::FieldName."

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.
