Simple question about using BDE and Alias
I've set up 3 Aliases but everytime I change computers the alias resets so I get errors when I try to run the program. I can get them working by setting up new Aliases before I work with my program. This is getting tiresome. Is there anyway I can make an Alias which sticks?
if u use dbase or paradox,
then u cane simple use the path,
where the table are, as alias
so the question is
what database do u use?
btw. you can also create aliases
on the fly at runtime

btw. you must not go through the bde-api,
for creating an alias
tsession provides methods for this

I'm using Dbase. And creating Aliases at run time is probably the solution I would use. How would I set it up?

another way is to create aliases in your prograam by using BDE unit (dbiAddAlias function - see BDE32.hlp file for more info and examples)
