given a pointer to a table, or a pointer to a field of a table, I want to be able, for the current record of this table, to : - iterate over all the fields of the table - I know how to do this -- determine if the current field has 1 or more relations - I do not know how to do this --- if there are 1 or more relations, I want 'follow' each relation to determine if there exists 1 or more related records at the other end of the relation - I am not sure I know how to do this
what I want looks something like this $Table_Num:=table->([table]) $Field_Count:=get last field number([table]) For ($i; 1; $Field_Count) if (field number valid($Table_Num; $i)) // get field relational information // if (relations) // For ($Realation_count) // check related table for records // if (related records exist) $Dependencies := True // exit loops Thanks Chip --------------- Gas is for washing parts Alcohol is for drinkin' Nitromethane is for racing ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
