Hilmar,

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I don't think you have to change that at all. All you have to do is change the query. The literal Student in line 4 is telling the data adapter what to call the data table created by the query and line 6 is telling the grid which data table to use from the data set. Line 4 would be comparable to this in VFP with SPT:

SQLEXEC(handle, query, 'Student')

So, it doesn't really matter what you call as long as you use the same thing in both places.

HTH,
Chad
