  Sample input:
GetTableFromOccurence ( contacts_JOBS )
  Sample output:
Jobs

  Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

This function gets a list of FieldNames from a Table Occurrence and loops through each Table, comparing the field names to find a match. If two Tables contain identical field names, this function will revert to using ExecuteSQL, which takes a minor performance hit.
