Hi!
I need a clarification to see if I'm right.
This one is just to understand the way things are done.
When accessing a table in another work area by ALIAS:
- If using COMMANDS like USE, GOTO, etc. - we add a IN TABLE_ALIAS
- If using FUNCTIONS like RECNO(), RECCOUNT(), etc. - we must enclose the TABLE ALIAS in quotes, passed as a String, or we got an error saying that "Variable not found".
My question: Is that because they work as regular function like the ones we create or there is another reason?
The first time I tried to use RECCOUNT() to operate in another area using table alias I spent a lot of time till I understand this. The VFP Help does not 'Help' in this situation because it does not make a note on this.
Sorry for all of this.
Many thanks!
