Yes, you can open two different tables with the same alias.
Let's assume for an example that you have material reception, and material delivery, in different tables. Structures are similar. Give a name to the combined table concept for instance, "MaterialMovement", or something more generic, like "TableProcessed".
use (ThisForm.cTableName) alias MaterialMovement
Later, the Grid.RecordSource, a TextBox.ControlSource, or any command, would all refer to the alias "MaterialMovement".
