   To expand on what was already said   
      
   You are encountering a known problem,   
   which was cause by XP SP2,   
   and cause certain dialog boxes in pdox to stop working.   
      
   Recommendations include :   
      
   1 ) Try Proview, a project viewer alternative   
      
   2 ) Code your queries/sql and run in script or form.   
      
   3 ) Sometimes I was able to back door into a query using the data model   
      
   4) Possibly use notepad to create a blank query with one field picked, then   
   open with query, design   
      
   5 ) Upgrade to Pdox X3   
      
      
   With a small piece of code you coudl try something like this,   
      
   var   
    stTable string   
    tview tableview   
   endvar   
      
   stTable = ":work:claimsall"   
   tview.open(stTable)   
      
   Possibly that woudl pop the table open on the screen if the alias is   
   correct.   
      
   Just a few midnight ideas to add to the brainstorm session.   
      
   Good luck
