I assign an alias name to the table and when I try to reference the field with the alias name, the dbgetprop funtion returns a 'Function arguement value, type, or count is invalid' error. However, if I use the actual table name when referencing the field, it works fine.

try this:

lcField = DBF("DataFile") + ".Sex"
DefVal=DbGetProp(lcField,"Field","DefaultValue")
