Hi Simon,
By default, TestStand will log UUT results to the UUT_RESULT, and individual step results to the STEP_RESULT table. Are you not seeing any entries in STEP_RESULT?
There are several configuration options that might be set incorrectly that would turn off database logging for individual step results, you'll want to check these:
1) Global setting for databases - Configure >> Database Options >> Logging Options tab: the "Include Step Results" checkbox must be turned ON.
2) Global setting for result recording - Configure >> Station Options >> Execution tab: the "Disable Result Recording for All Sequences" checkbox must be turned OFF.
3) Global setting for result recording for Interactive Executions ("Run Selected Steps...") - Conf
igure >> Station Options >> Execution tab: the Interactive Executions "Record Results" checkbox must be turned ON.
4) Per-sequence setting for result recording - Edit >> Sequence Properties: the "Disable Result Recording for All Steps" checkbox must be turned OFF.
5) Per-step setting for result recording - right-click the step, go to Properties. On the "Run Options" tab, the "Record Results" checkbox must be turned ON.
These are just the ones I thought of off the top of my head. If some of these configuration options are not set correctly, then that would explain why your STEP_RESULT table has no entries.
Another possibility is that the step's results could be programmatically being removed from the ResultList, but that's a whole 'nother ballgame, see the TestStand Reference Manual for information about the ResultList.
