Hi everyone...<br />
<br />
I want to extract some information from a BDE alias. This alias is a &quot;MS SQL - SQL Link&quot;. I want to get the server name, database name and user name. I looked at the BDE API help, but couldn't find anything in this direction. Any code example is highly welcome :-]<br />
<br />
Thanks, Jonny...
