Comments

If you implement activity tracking in your application, you can use this function in conjunction with the Security procedure to retrieve the display name of a selected resource. The Security procedure runs each time a form, report, or table is accessed. A dictionary ID, resource type and a resource ID for the resource being accessed are automatically passed as in parameters for the Security procedure. With this information, Resource_GetDisplayName() can ascertain the resource’s display name, then store the name in an activity table (see the following example).

The resource_type parameter automatically passed to the Security procedure will indicate a form, report or table group, but not an individual table. To track table access, be sure you use place each table into a table group.
