Jim,
I've always considered that to be an "alias"... It does not actually change the name of the table itself. And I am not a fan of using it. As well, I do not like to use the "Caption" for a field name. I have some clients that have these, and when you want to refer to a field in a select, or in code, you have to figure out what the actual field name is by the caption - ie, a field with a caption="Customer Type Code" when browsing could be named something like CTC.
