Hi Agnes,

Well, suppose you had a DLL which does all the handling of opening tables for you. That way, you could use the DLL in all your applications.
You only give it the full path, index, alias and so on.
But, imagine you use the dll and suddenly, you want to open an included table.
I solved it by using IF empty(juststem(table) .and. FILE(alias)
That way, i get TRUE and I know it's included.

Hi Guillaume,

why do you need to know that? I figured out that is very tricky to know that a file opend is included under all circumstances , but maybe a specific workaround will do. Anyway, all of may possible ideas will work after openning the table. But you can close it again?
