Data dictionnaries

Hi!

I built an application using the end user interface ReportBuilder offers. I
made some DataDictionnaries which "translate" the table and fields name in
order to get them readable by users.

My problem is that when I try to build a query using the designer's query
builder, sometimes the list of tables (the very first screen of the query
wizard) is displayed like they should according to the dictionnaries, and
sometimes the list is actually showing the entire content of my database
(all the tables available from the BDE alias). When this happen, the table
names are the real ones and not the ones I configures through the
dictionnaries.

What can cause this problem ?
Am I doing anything wrong ??

Thanks.

    This is controlled via the TppDesigner.DataSettings.UseDataDictionary
    property. This property should be set prior to running the report designer
    and should not be modified while the application is running.
