   Did you give the ODBC driver the same alias name as the SQL Links driver?   
      
   If you did give it the same name, do the table names show up differently via   
   the ODBC driver?   
      
   I would have thought that using the same alias for the ODBC driver wouldn't   
   break the data model, unless the table names change to   
   "Something.TableName", with the "Something" being a schema name. I would   
   have though that would also be the case in SQL Links.   
      
   As an aside, what version of the BDE and SQL Links did you try?
