Example:
You have database container DBCONT with table DBFONE.dbf alias MYTABLE in your C:\dbf directory.
Issue the commands:
CLOSE ALL
USE C:\dbf\dbfone.dbf
at this point dbfone is open in the current work area and database DBCONT is also open, which can be verified by isseuing the statement:
? DBUSED("DBCONT")
This will return .T. since DBCONT was opened when dbfone.dbf was used
(even more useless knowledge)
Try this:
USE IN dbfone && Close table, database is still open
SET DATABASE TO DBCONT && Make DBCONT the current database
USE MYTABLE && you can open DBFONE.dbf using it's alias since the Database is open.
In short, I don't think you can open a table without opening it's associated DBC.
