   Re: What is my data model

   As Dennis replied, each form and report has it's data model embedded in   
   the form or report. That data model can be saved to an external file so   
   that it can be used as the basis for the data model in another form or   
   report (or even QBE query), but the data model file is separate from a   
   form's or report's data model.   
      
   If you select a table in the data model while viewing a data model, the   
   complete path to the table is displayed in the Paradox status bar.
