You can also do something like the following in the INIT of the form or object (I did mine in the INIT of a listbox):

thisform.DataEnvironment.CloseTables
thisform.DataEnvironment.AddObject("Dealer", "CURSOR")
thisform.DataEnvironment.Dealer.CursorSource="dbf\Dealer.dbf"
thisform.DataEnvironment.Dealer.Alias="Dealer"
thisform.DataEnvironment.OpenTables

However, my DE initially contains no tables (cursors). In other words, I didn't add any tables at design time (Hence AddObject as opposed to simply changeing the cursorsource).

Whatever works best!
