Is there a way to find table ID bas on tablename

Resender

Hello,
I've gotten an intresting question, we got 2 tables with the same name, diffrent ID off couse.
We now are getting unexpected behavior from a codeunit that uses 1 of these 2. We suspect that the record variable is pointing to the wrong one.

When we look into the global/local variables we get offcourse the variable name, its type (Record) and its susbtype, I want to know if there's a way to determine what the ID is of the table in the subtype

Thank you

Is it in database?

It wont allow you to have objects with same name..

And yet I'm seeing 2 tables with exactly the same name, they got a diffrent caption.
A secondary problem is the mix between the use of the dutch or english names for tables by our people.

What is the NAV version you are using? In the earlier NAV versions, it was possible to have 2 objects of the same type, with the same name. Why don't you add an "X" to one of the table names, and then see in your code which variable points to which table?

Using navision attain BE 3.60 (3.60)

When I open Table 3 in Design Mode, and save it with object number 50003 (without changing the name), I got this error in BE 3.60:

"The object name already exists.
Existing object: Table 3 Payment Terms
New object: Table 50003 Payment Terms"

So I'm unable to create 2 tables with the same name.

Maybe there's an additional blank space within the name of one Object or something like that.
