The Set Alias command does not affect the aliases used in formulas. When you change an alias, you must make certain that you change any formula references to the old alias as well. For example, if you change the "company" alias to "customer", you must make certain that you change any formula references to that alias from {company.fieldname} to {customer.fieldname}. If you don't, the program will not be able to locate the referenced field, and it will return an error message. Formula references include both formulas used in the report and selection formulas.
Note: Set Alias changes the alias only, not the database location. If you want to change the location of a database (if you want to find the database in a new location), choose the Set Location command from the Database menu.
