Hello,

It's maybe a stupid question but is it possible to change the alias of a database without closing and reopen it?

I know a can use variable like
db = 'TEST'
use database ALIAS (db) new
and
repl (db)->veldje with 'Test'

But it would be nice to change the alias-name (it would save me some time changing existing code

)

Thanks,
Marc

It is a Clipper 5.3b function. Look in the NG. If you are still using an older version (5.2e or previous) then I'm afraid that you're stucked.
