Hi All

I have a method that has the following code

```auto
globals.form_nameƒtrigger = application.getMethodTriggerFormName()

```

Is it possible to retrieve the “tableName” from the global formName?

Hi Tom,

This should do the job:

```auto
forms[globals.form_nameƒtrigger].controller.getTableName()

```
