>I'd like to browse a table and be able to read the actual field name on the column header instead of the caption from the database. Any ideas?

No way - it always gives you the headers from the DBC. You can select * from MyTable and then browse - but the cursor will still keep the titles. The only way I've found to get the original field names as headers is

copy to tmp
use tmp
browse

...kind of overkill, but it works; yet you get a copy. You can probably create a view, and also lose the long names - people write utilities to _keep_ them :)
