>Hi Mark,

>Your close enough to the problem. Now you can see why I need to get rid of any refrence to the table name because It will be not available. I will have recreate the alias with only the fields that are need for comparison, but I still need to be able to a query on the recreated alias, but I can not. Any help is very much appreciate.

Once the saving of the QPR is completed, you might try the FileToStr() to convert the QPR to a string. Something like--

lcQPR = FileToStr("MyQuery.QPR")
lcQPR = strtran(lcQPR, "MyTable.", "")   && removes all the <b>MyTable.</b> strings
** of course you would have to figure out what tables were used
** you can use the AT() function to look for the periods
lnRetVal = StrToFile(lcQPR, "MyQuery.QPR")
if lnRetVal > 0
   *** successful
else
   *** not successful
endif

I am afraid there are not many options for you on this.
