Hi Joe,

you can use ADBOBJECT() to get all the tables of a database in an array as in

the example given in the help :

* Open sample testdata database

OPEN DATABASE (HOME(2) + 'Data\testdata')

* Function call with cSetting for table names

=ADBOBJECTS(gaTables, "TABLE")

* Displays array gaTables created by ADBOBJECTS( ) function

DISPLAY MEMORY LIKE gaTables

In fact, ADBOBJECT will give you the number of element found :

lnnbtable = ADBOBJECT(gatables, "TABLE")

FOR lnindice = 1 TO m.lnnbtables

USE (gatables(m.lnindice,1))

? gatables(m.lnindice,1)+ STR(RECCOUNT(),8)

USE

NEXT
