deciphering field names in the database

    Hi there,

    Great product.

    I'm connecting an access DB to the MySQl db to run some queries etc...

    Is there any way I can deciphering what the field names are automatically? I notice that there are desciptions in the elements tables but I have no idea how to marry them up to the fields in "ap_form_#".

    Ideally I'd just like a table in MS Access that has the correct named headings and refreshes with data on demand.

    any ideas chaps?

  2. You need to do a "JOIN" query to be able resolve those field names.
    Basically each field has its own id number.

    So let say you have a field "element_2", then you need to look into table "ap_form_elements". There you will see the actual field name by looking up the id number.

    Here is an example of JOIN query:
