Logging.StepResult.TS.StepType for NUmericLimitTest is NULL

Question

I'm using TestStand's build in logging feature to write results to a database.  My problem is that the "name" field of the MEAS_NUMERICLIMIT table is empty for test steps that are of the type "NumericLimitTest".  I want this set to the name of the test step in this case but all the variables that should have the name are set to NULL for a NumerLimitTest.  These include:
NameOf(Logging.StepResultProperty)   (This is the normal value the name field is set to)
Logging.StepResult.TS.StepType
I need two things:
1. The variable containing the name of the step when its a NumericLimitTest type.
2. The variable containing the type of step.   Logging.StepResult.TS.StepType can't be used because it's NULL when the test step
is a NumerLimitTest type.
Can someone help?
Thanks

Mike which database are you logging to? Can you try going into
your statements tab of your database options and selecting
STEP_NUMERICLIMIT and click the down button until it is the last
statement in the schema, and let me know if that makes a difference. If
you're using the default schema, it has two statements that log to the
MEAS_NUMERICLIMIT table. To help TestStand correctly generate automatic
SQL code to create the table in Access, you must list the
Meas_NUMERICLIMIT statement before the STEP_NUMERICLIMIT statement
because the MEAS_NUMERICLIMIT statement has more colums than the
STEP_NUMERICLIMIT statement.
