Getting name of parent procedure that called a child file Update in Net Talk

1

Hi,
I have a MemForm with 2 Tabs.
Tab1 has a Browse on Auto File and calls Child procedure ‘See Keys’ based on AUTO:GUID as a Filter.
Tab2 Has a Browse on JoinedAuto File and calls the same Child procedure ‘See Keys’ based on a different filter - JOINAUTO:GUID.

So, both browses call the same “See Keys” procedure but with different filters.
My problem is that when I call the procedure to Update_SeeKeys - I want to know if it was called from ‘AutoFile’ as a parent OR ‘JoinedAuto’ as a parent as they will populate the form with slightly different values.

I have tried finding Parent settings in browse and child and update and loc:parent and loc;filter. However, I have not been able to key in on something that will tell me which the original calling procedure was. Anyone with any insight or tricks? Maybe have to set a Server Value based on which Tab is active?
THanks,
Ron

I’m sure Bruce or someone else will jump in, but webpages are stateless and essentially standalone.

So unless you have some server backend facility to log the session and webpages they open that you can interrogate, only other way would be to include the calling procedure in a parameter of sorts.

Ron,
So both calling browses are on the same procedure?
So finding “the original calling procedure” isn’t going to help you, right?

I think your idea of setting a session value might be the best course.

Hi,
After lots of testing, I figured out that I really don’t want the customer to INSERT records ( they are inserted in another procedure - so they only need to VIEW/Update the record. So, just disabling the INSERT button in the Child Form solves my problem.

This is a NetTalk server Richard, so lots of server-side state built in.
