How do I put a list of TTable field names in a stringlist ?? 1

[RonR51]

I am looking for a way to create a string list or something similar, where each line is the name of a field in a paradox table (TTable).

I am writing a text file input function that lists the names of headings in an imported text file (I have done this) and then writes them as the first field in separate records to a small table (Table1). Then I want to allow the user to assign fields from another table (Table2) to each heading from the import file. I thought I would present the existing Table2 field names in a drop down box in each record of Table1. My task then would be to write the data from the remaining lines of the import table to the nominated fields in Table2.

This sounds messy but I need to provide the user with flexibility to cater for different formats in the import file.

Any help greatly appreciated.

The TTable class has a member called fields, and a field count. You could do something like this:

for x := 0 to table.Fieldcount do
begin
myStringlist.Add(table.Fields[x].FieldName);
end;
