>>Does anyone know a way of retrieving the underlying table field captions for use in a view, e.g. my base table has a field claim_ref with a caption of 'Claim Reference', but this not handed down to the view when it's used in a grid. I've tried various methods using dbgetprop() etc.. but without a great deal of success ( e.g. it bombs with calculated fields )

Thanks to you all
