With the alias used I cannot add the table to the database, which is what I want to do. So, if I can remove the need for the alias, I can add the groveall table to my database.

Aliases are not permanent assignments. I think you mean you get an error like "table is in use", "alias in use" etc.

use in 'LocalCrime' && closes the table with alias LocalCrime

Adding to database is one time job.

close data all
open database myDatabase
add table groveall
