Getting an Alias Path

I need to get the path that is assigned to an alias that I'm using in my
program. I have a string "LSOT" assigned as the DatabaseName to all of my
TTable's in my program. I am writing a procedure that requires me to know
the path that is set for the 'LSOT" alias so that I can move the file and
create another file in it's place. How do I determine the path that is
assigned to an Alias?

I am using Delphi 3

Thanks,
Jesse

Re:Getting an Alias Path

Look at the information of TSession
There you find GetAliasParams, GetDriverParams etc.

Drop a listbox on a form and put this button click handler code below
in. Click the button and you'll get all the details in the list.

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
session.GetAliasParams('DBDEMOS',listbox1.items);
end;
