Thanks for that Peter,

I believe I have tried that, but the error message I was getting back
was like "the database name must not be empty" or something similar.

I'm kinda wondering if my subscription to IBObjects must be renewed
quicker than I was expecting. Anyone know when the alias support went
in to the component set?
