A newbie question concerning Interbase tables:

I'm trying to create a new table using Database Desktop. When I try to save,
I get "Chosen alias is not of type Interbase".

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Roland

You must create an alias using the Interbase driver type and use that alias
when you want to create a table.

It is asking me for a *.gdb file. What kind of file is that and how do I make
it.
I can't find anything in the helpfile documentation about this.

Thanks,

Roland

In message <38043771.A86C5...@elitecomputers.nl>, Roland M. Guyt stated:
Roland,

you have to use Interbase ISQL to create the empty database. You can then
create the tables for that database using the database desktop.

    Ralph answered your other question.  A *.gdb file is the Interbase database
file.
