Hi, people.

I'd like to know if there's a function that, given a BDE alias, returns its
path.

In my application I have an alias SISVEST.  Since the tables can be put in
other directory when the user installs the program, I need a way to know
exactly where the tables were copied to.

Thanx for the help.

Breno.

var ParamsList: Tstrings;
    MyAliasPath: String;

const AliasName='MyAlias';

begin
  ParamsList:= TStringList.Create;
  try
    with Session do
    begin
      Session.GetAliasNames(ParamsList);
      Session.GetAliasParams(AliasName,ParamsList);
      MyAliasPath:=Copy(ParamsList[0],6,50)+'\';
    end;

  finally
    ParamsList.Free;
  end;
end;

FullName:=fDbiFormFullName(Table1);

function fDbiFormFullName(Tbl: TTable): String;
var
  Props: CurProps;
begin
  Check(DbiGetCursorProps(Tbl.Handle,Props));
  SetLength(Result, DBIMAXPATHLEN);
  Check(DbiFormFullName(Tbl.DBHandle, PChar(Tbl.TableName),
          Props.szTableType, PChar(Result)));
end;

Jason, why not use Alias'? How are you doing the loading at start?
Determining where your databases are that is? Just curious!
