>I've run across a situation in which a table with the name of say "0100_0202_COB_C3" is used and when you look at what the name is in vfp, it show "_100_0202_COB_C3". Anyone know why? OR how to fix it so that it used the correct name?
A table alias in VFP can only begin with letter or underscore ("_'). VFP adds "_" to the table name to make a valid alias. You can use ALIAS clause in USE command to specify alias explicitly.
USE ("0100_0202_COB_C3") ALIAS COB_C3
