This is fairly vague..... If you need to use a table you already have open then use the SELECT command, not USE.He's saying the table is already open but he needs to do a report on the table with a different alias. Selecting the table won't do it; he needs to USE it AGAIN or do a filtered select into the alias expected by the report.
The Dataenvironment is the quickest way to open tables or Views. It scales well if you use Views.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
