Hi Helen,

I'm a bit puzzled by your statement that we "*Don't* use the DatabaseName
property" because the GSG advises that we should use it.

Extract from 'Populating the data module' :

For the connection :

'If you don't enter anything for the DatabaseName property, it will default
to the Database property value. Because that could be quite lengthy - and
will probably change when you deploy your app - you are strongly advised to
make use of this alias feature for use in your client-side code.'

For the queries :

'Notice that the IB_Query's DatabaseName property has been set to the alias
that was entered into the Databasename property of the IB_Connection. As we
shall see, making this the FIRST thing we do after naming the IB_Query is
going to save a LOT of typing...'


Has something been updated to change what the GSG is advising ?


Cheers.
Norman.
