[AccessD] Alias Table Name

If you show the properties for the query and then click somewhere on
the aliased table you will see the real source for the table or query.

I use an alias name in a update query that I have a new version of a
table every week and don't want to have to rekey a lot of table names
in the update line, so I alias it to "Old" and then each week I just
have to remove last weeks Old and replace it with this week's old and
re-alias it.
