Is there anyway to make a new alias (System dsn) witout using the Management

Hi Martin

You could use:

TStringList *AliasParm = new TStringList();
Session->ConfigMode = cmSession;

AliasParm->Clear();
AliasParm->Add("PATH=YOURDESIREDPATH");
Session->AddAlias("AliasName", "PARADOX", AliasParm);

delete AliasParm;

This sample code creates a temporary alias called AliasName using Paradox
driver.

Please note that this code is C++ Builder, and you should take a look at
Session ConfigMode and AddAlias for more information.

Yes,  you can call into the ODBC API directly to do this.  I do not know
how to do it from Delphi,  but there is an example of how to do that from
C++ in Code Central (look for MDBTOOLS)...
