Finding data field names

[Travis]

Where can I look to identify the correct field name to return data from a PIO? If I use the =('Room Record'.'Room Name') syntax, but want to return the Area (or some other data) from a Room Record, how do I find the other data "names"?

BTW, is there a fairly clear tutorial on working with VW worksheets and schedules? If I wasn't reasonably proficient in Excel, I think the manuals would just as useful if written in Cuniform for me.

if you look at the 'worksheet functions' section of the manual (or help file through vw), you'll see the many parameters you can enter to get info from object with records attached. for example, typing in '=l' in the database header will get you the layer that the objects are on. 'a' will get you area, 'n' will gate you the name, 'c' will get the class, 's' the symbol name.... you get the picture.
