Well, tried that but the problem isn't really an alias, it is that the name of the table we are accessing has been changed (out of our control). So, I take it there isn't a way to change the actual table name in the designer.

You're right, at runtime it isn't an issue, but it causes a problem for the designer for making changes.

>(CR ver 8.0) In an existing report, is there a way to change the table name (same structure) which is the source of the report in design mode, without the bound objects in the report (text boxes) that have already been placed being lost? Example, I have a text object bound to a field named "TableName.State" and I want to change it to "SomeOtherTableName.State". This report is bound to a VFP free table, saved using 'TYPE FOX2X'.
