Je vois.. je viens de vérifier dans la "naming" convention des variables.

Mais n'y a-t-il pas risque de confusion, t pour parameter et t pour Datetime..!?

There are many ways to do :) As I understand you use either fullpath or just filename as _DBF. Used() checks for alias not fullpath so if it's in another dir (fullpath supplied) it fails. If you don't need a very robust version (e.g. taking into consideration that a table could be opened multipl times all with different alias names other than filename, filenames are not LFN etc) then this one works :
>>>

function myUse
>>>parameters tcTable, tcOrder
>>>lcAlias = strtran( ;
>>>     iif(at("\",tcTable)>0, ;
>>>        substr(tcTable,rat("\",tcTable)+1), ;
>>>        tcTable), ;
>>>     ".dbf","")     && Strip just alias
>>>if !used(lcAlias)
>>>	use (tcTable) in 0 && Fox automatically assigns filename as alias
>>>endif
>>>select (lcAlias)
>>>if parameters()=2
>>>   set order to tag ;
>>>      (iif(type("tcOrder") = "N", ;
>>>      tag(tcOrder), tcOrder))
>>>      && If tcOrder is numeric get tagname else use tcOrder
>>>endif
