why does put revOpenDatabases() not work?

[william humphrey]

Simple question

get VDatabase_Open( mDatabase, dbPAth ) -- to open your database. Check it
with

  put VDatabase_IsOpen( mDatabase)


and you're sure it is open but the rev function


put revOpenDatabases()  returns empty.


Now this is a problem because I want to use some of the revdatabase
functions and they require the use of a "databaseID" which is also returned
in the revopendabase() function.


I know this is a typical newbie question as all of mine are but I'm trying
to wade through this and I think that it should be possible to use the
revdatabase functions as well as the valentina ones especially considering
that I can't figure out some of the valentina ones...
