Shortcut Considerations

An expression of the form

FIELD.fieldname.property

or

FIELD.fieldname.method(. . .)

is converted to an object expression by using GetField(FIELD.fieldname). For example, the next two lines of code are identical:

FIELD.CHECKLIST_DT.Enabled = False;

GetField(FIELD.CHECKLIST_DT).Enabled = False;

An expression of the form

recname.fieldname.property

or

recname.fieldname.method(.  .  .)

is converted to an object expression by using GetField(recname.fieldname). For example, the next two lines of code are identical:

EMPL_CHECKLINST.CHECKLIST_DT.Enabled = False;

GetField(EMPL_CHECKLIST.CHECKLIST_DT).Enabled = False;
