  True.. that I can do, but by doing so, the fixed path name might
not work on another installed workstation.   I've thought about
creating another BDE alias for local data access, but then again,
I'd have to explicitly state the PATH in the BDE alias and that
won't do either.  Mind you, I haven't tried putting "." in the
PATH statement.   I don't think that'll work.  

Perhaps I'll go back to the old fashion create-table process.

Btw, is there any way of extracting the PATH from the BDE alias?
All I could do was extract the name of the alias via the DATABASE
OBJECT'S GETSCHEMA() method, but I don't see how that can help
me in determining the path of the actual datafile.  

Maybe I'm just thinking in a complicated way.  Perhaps there
is an easier way of doing this.  

Anyway, thanks for the help!

Edmund
