Yuanitta,

The views are based on other views in the DBC using aliases.

For example

I have a view lv_ShotGrid based on another view lv_ShotGri1, but the lv_ShotGri1 has an alias of v_ShotGri1.

I can open the views in VFP just fine as long as I open them in order.

In my above example:

USE lv_ShotGri1 IN 0 ALIAS v_ShotGri1
USE lv_ShotGrid IN 0 ALIAS v_ShotGrid

works just fine, I want the be able to have SDT do the same thing so I do not get the above message.

Is this possible, or do I just have to live with the problem?

TIA

Rex
