Limited Lookup on Form Caption

kklosson

It seems that you can only go so far on a form caption. Looks like you can reference the current object's parent, but not its parent's parent. For example:

House.Street.Name is okay but

House.Street.City.Name is not okay

Is there a reason for this limitation?

I've had this problem in V6 as well.
I just tested this in V7, and you can only get to the object's "immediate" parent's attributes, but not deeper. Nothing shows
However I created a ShortCut in my current object that went to gradfather attribute and then I display this ShortCut in caption and worked. It showed gradparent attribute data.

Yeah, I did the same. Just wanted to be sure I was reading it correctly.
