Only use AliasName if you have a BDE alias setup on the machine the app is
running from.
I strongly recommend you move away from using an AliasName.

To setup your database connection use the Server, Path and Protocol
properties.

DatabaseName is just a friendly way to describe your database and if left
blank will simply reflect what your literal connection string is. I also
made the mistake of allowing people to set a valid connection string with
this property. It wasn't intended to be used that way.
