 Hi Randy,
 
 If you code a new Alias in the BDE Aministrator it will point to your tables.
 
 Choose BDE Admin from your Dbase Folder
 Choose Databases Tab
 Rt Click on any White Space Below the current list of "BDE Aliases"[Left Pane]
 Pick New
 Choose OK in New DataBAse Alias Form [Standard]
 
 Rt Pane
 Defaule Driver                Pick Dbase if using Dbase Tables
 Path                         Click on Elipsis[Far Right]
 Navigate to where Your Tables/Data are and Pick OK
 
 Now Rt Click on Standard1[Alias Name] and Rename Standard1 to any name of your choice
 Exit from BDE and Choose Save Changes
 Now Your New Alias, You can use to point to Your Tables
 
 IE
 
 q = new query()
 q.sql := "select * from :MyNewAlias:MyTable1"
 q.active := true
 
 
 Hope this helps
 Don
