Using local and remote tables together

Topic group

If you use both local dBASE or Paradox tables as well as client/server databases, it’s a good idea to create a BDE alias for the local dBASE or Paradox table directories and any other directories containing tables as well. There are two reasons for this:

1. All your table connections will be listed in the dBASE Plus Navigator Look In box when the Tables tab is selected.

2. Using a BDE alias for BDE-standard tables makes it easier to move them to another directory; only the alias in the BDE configuration need be updated, and not the source code for all the forms and reports.
