Odd. When you install it, it should have a few source aliases that are normally installed with dBASE. (dQuery, Samples, etc.). However, any *custom* items of course won't be there.

Did you click the "Add" button before you clicked "Apply"? The "Add" button should be available (not greyed out) after you enter information into the entryfields ...
