TableName

Show this topic in Library frames

Applies to:

VAccess

Description

TableName indicates which table, from the set of all tables defined in the DDF set specified by the DdfPath property, will be associated with the control.

When a valid TableName is set, the control will close the current file and try to open the requested table at the current location if AutoOpen = True. If TableName is invalid, the control will not be able to open the file or retrieve data successfully.

This property cannot be used to change the name of the current table. DdfModifyTableName can be used for this purpose.


Note
In order to retrieve the dictionary information for a table, RefreshLocations must = True.

Example

Dim Index As Integer 
index = Combo1.ListIndex 
If index > -1 Then 'selected from list 
  VAccess1.Close 
  VAccess1.RefreshLocations = True 
  VAccess1.RefreshLocations = False 
  VAccess1.TableName = Combo1.List (index) 
  VAccess1.Open 
  Select Case index 
  Case 0 
    VAList1.VAFieldName = "msa_desc. population" 
  Case 1 
    VAList1.VAFieldName = "user_name. customer_code" 
  Case 2 
    VAList1.VAFieldName = "order_date. order_number" 
  End Select 
  VAccess1.GetFirst 
End If
