Determining the name of an IDO object

When working in the Application Event System (AES), there are times that you need the name (not caption) of an IDO object. Use this procedure:
  1. Open and check out the form that uses the IDO collection that the object belongs to.
    For example, if you were setting up an event handler to work with document attachments, you would check out and open the Documents form.
  2. Launch the designer (Web Designer or Design Mode) for that form.
  3. Verify that the Form Properties sheet is selected.
  4. If you are working in the Web Designer, expand the Details panel.
  5. Select the Collections tab.

    The names of all IDO collections associated with that form are displayed in the Collections list at the top of the tab. Usually, there is only collection, which makes it easy to figure out. If more than one collection is listed, you must take further steps to determine which is the one you need.

    The internal name of the IDO is what displays after the colon (:). For example, the name of the IDO collection that the Documents form uses is "DocumentObjects".
