Is it set to active? It should be available in the dropdown.

Using BDS 2006, dBase files, Win XP network, modified Accounting for
Delphi (AFD) as the base application
AFD has separate exe's for each "function". For example if one wants to do
order entry the main form button calls afdoe.exe. On this exe's main form is a
TDatabase component. From this form, button clicks will take you to other
forms. On these forms are the TTables, TDatasources, TQueries.
In the BDE there is an alias; namely AFD.
The Tdatabase component is named dbAFD and it uses the alias AFD and the entry
for DatabaseName is AFD_DATA.
My question is am I supposed to use the TDatabase component on the "main" form
for all of the TTables, TQueries on the subsequent forms? Or am I supposed to
use the BDE alias?
When I click on the DatabaseName drop down the "main" form TDatabase isn't
listed; but the BDE alias is listed.
If I'm supposed to use the TDatabase from the main form for the DatabaseName
for these forms TTables & TQueries how do I do that; namely what do I enter in
the DatabaseName field for the TTables & TQueries.
I have been searching for an answer in sample apps but haven't found it.
Thank you,
Charlie
