Determines the table that is accessed by a Browse object.

Property of

Browse

Description

Use the alias property to identify a table to display in a browse object. For example, when the form is based on a .QBE query that opens two or more files in a parent-child relation, you use alias to determine which table appears in the Browse object.

Aliases are used for tables open in work areas, not data objects. When the form uses data objects, use a Grid control, which can dataLink directly to a Rowset object.
