Do you want to change the field name just for the one run of the application, or do you want it changed permanently??<br />

Is it possible to change a database field-name from within a running application?How do I do it? As an example: Say I have a database that looks like this:<br />
Fields: Cartype &nbsp; Color &nbsp; Prize &nbsp; Weight &nbsp; Height<br />
Posts:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Sedan &nbsp; &nbsp; Red &nbsp; &nbsp; 12000$ &nbsp; 1200 Kg 1.2 m<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Truck &nbsp; &nbsp; Gray &nbsp; &nbsp;86000$ &nbsp; 6500 Kg 3.2 m<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Racer &nbsp; &nbsp; Green &nbsp; 45000$ &nbsp; 800 &nbsp;Kg 0.85 m<br />
Now! How do I change for example the fieldname &quot;Prize&quot; to &quot;Cost&quot; from an running application?<br />
PS. I run Delphi Developer 2.0 and the database is a Paradox-base...<br />
Thanks!<br />
