How do I get the ID of a database?

Hi Bob,

When you open the database with revOpenDatabase you assign the whole thing to yourDatabaseID.

Look it up in the dictionary towards the end and you’ll find what I’m referring to.

yourDatabaseID will be an integer and you will use that to refer to your database for other functions.

Hope that helps!

Rick
