I am looking to Construct a Comparison based on a specific field. I do not know which table to find the field and am not sure of the field name. I do know that the field is labeled "Action Code" in the Summary Reporting Form and Assessment Certification data input screen.

AREV is a database development environment used by a multitude of companies to develop vertical market software. You are obviously using such a package so without knowing which package you are referrring to it will be difficult to help.
Sometimes developers add a feature to their applications which allows you to press an "Alt" key when on a prompt which will show the dictionary name of the current prompt. If you press Alt-M in the screen do you see a screen showing actions for Alt 1-5 - and if so do any of them look as though they do what you need?

Make a copy of your system and work with this (not the live system).
Enter the system.
Hit F5 to bring up TCL, then enter the following commands:
SELECT WINDOWS WITH DATA 'Action Code'
EDIT WINDOWS
Hit Alt-F to present each record in turn.
Hit Ctrl-F to search for the prompt "Action Code" - next to it will possibly be a field name you can use in your report.
If you page down towards the bottom you can see the file name (if any) associated with the screen - usually on a line with "squiggly equals signs" on it.
Once you have the field name and file name you can see if you can run a report. You may find the field is dynamically created, or else the window is not anchored to a file (it's a collector) or the data may not have a dictionary associated with it. All these factors can bring this approach undone.
But it is worth a shot.
