Hi

Is it possible to get the name of the field from the current cell in an open Access table?

I can get the text in that cell with:

CODE
screen.activecontrol


Can I get the field name in a similar way?

Cheers!

I didn't realize ActiveControl works with tables too. Thanks.

Haha! I had missed that it was used directly on a table (I thought it might be a form control or datasheet cell)

Interestingly, if you check the cell's ControlType it returns 115, which is not listed in the acControlType enumeration.

Other missing constant values are 113, 116, 117, 120, 121, 125. I wonder what they are!
