Subject Re: db 2019 source aliases From Andy Taylor <andy.taylor.1959@outlook.com> Date Mon, 31 Aug 2020 09:08:00 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Edmund, Your source alias can only point to one folder. When setting kclasses to \\srv2\data\forms you cannot also have it set to \\srv2\data\controls I would rename your aliases to cstFrm and cstCtr if you are using separate folders. To answer your last point, it depends on what other files are in the same folder that the navigator is pointing to! If you have test.cfo, test.cfm, basebtns.co or basebtns.cc in that same folder they will be used instead.
