Sound's like you've gone through the DataEnvironment stuff as well as the field 
expressions, to get rid of any alias references. My thoughts are:

1) have you checked the 'print when' expressions? You can do this easily by 
browsing 
the report form table for !empty(supexpr)

2) perhaps a reference looked like 'mytablename.cfirstname' and now it looks 
like 
'cfirstname', but the currently selected alias has no field named 'cfirstname', 
and 
there's no variable named cfirstname.

3) variable and group expressions need to be checked too. These are in the 
'expr' 
field in the report dbf, just as with regular report field expressions.

4) what about the report calling custom code in your form or elsewhere? It 
could be 
that code that is expecting a certain alias to be the current alias.
