ALIAS

and not

TBL.ALIAS

However, RelName would be TBL and SQLName would be FIELD.
Thus, if you take RelName + '.' + SQLName you would have the Origin name.

Oops. Origin is a TField thing only. In IBO it is split between RelName and
SQLName properties. Just concatenate as indicated above. I suppose I could
add that property to TIB_Column too...
