John,

The way VFP works, you only have DIRECT access to a single alias/work-area at a time. So once you issue the USE there is no directly accessible alias/work-area.

In order to directly access another alias/work-area, you have to SELECT that one first. There is an alternative - most commands have an IN < alias > clause and most functions have an < alias/work-area > argument.

Now the calibre of your questions strongly suggests that you are using the UT to learn VFP. I really really really suggest that you at least read through the "Using Visual Foxpro" sections of the Help.

good luck
