Hello.

I'm using this version:

Harbour 3.2.0dev (Rev. 18432)
Copyright (c) 1999-2012, http://harbour-project.org/

I'm interested in determining the underlying filename of a database being accessed by an alias.

So...

use temp3234 alias temp

Is it possible to derive "temp3234" from "temp?"

I've looked through the online manuals but I can't find a function that allows me to find the original filename once I've assigned it an alias.

Thank you in advance.

Happy New Year!!!
