alias vs. field names

When you save teh report object and use aliases in the dictionary.

1. Will the report use the Alias or the Name of a field when it is saved?

2. Is teh alias used as a normal text so it can contain ".,_-æøå" etc.

Thank you

Report continues saving and using of the 'Name'. You can see it on the Code Tab.

Thank you very much.

Now I create some reports for a presentation for monday and wait a few days to apply my alias function.
