Link Type	When is this type of link created?
Access Read	Caller: Code object - fct, Event... Callee: Variable (instance, shared or global) Eg.: if a = 2 then ... endif
Access Write	Caller: Code object - fct, Event... Callee: Variable (instance, shared or global) Eg.: a = 2
Access Exec	Caller: Code objetc - fct, Event... Callee: Fct, Evt, Global Fct Eg.: a.f() Please note that when a window is opened (open(w1) for example), there will be an Access Read on w1
Access Member	Caller: Code object - fct, Event... Callee: Variable (instance, shared or global) Eg.: a.b = 2 (member on a and write on b)
Access Array	Caller: Code object - fct, Event... Callee: Variable (instance, shared or global) Eg.: A[5].b = 2 (array on a and write on b)
Prototype	When declaring an external function in an object and the function in a DLL that implements it.
Use: Select, Insert, Delete, Update	When the property of an object references a datawindow.
Inherit	When there is inheritance between controls, user objects, menus, and windows. In the following example, the window “w_gui_authors2” inherits from “w_gui_authors”:
Mention	During the creation of a class. The callee is always a class: (W,App,UO,M,Struct). E.g.: a = Create UO
Rely On	This link is displayed when there is a link between a variable and a type. When the link is on a local type variable, the link will then be escalated internally. E.g.: w1 var

Use: Select, Insert, Delete, Update	Embedded SQL	-
As above	Datawindow	Link between Datawindow and table (or view) with PB SELECT
As above	Datawindow	Link between Datawindow and table (or view) with SQL Select
As above	Dynamic SQL	Link found by the inference engine
Prototype	RPC, Declare Procedure, Declare Cursor	Link between the logical object corresponding to the logical name in PB and the server object.
Call	Datawindow	Link between Datawindow and Procedure (or sub object in Oracle)
Call	Dynamic SQL	Link found by the inference engine for server functions or procedures
Use	Dynamic SQL	In dynamic SQL character strings.
