I would use private data sessions whether or not I am using buffering, whether or not the application is single or multi user, whether or not it is in English or Chinese. Private data sessions give us a major leg up on creating event driven applications and not to worry about things like record pointers between forms.

Menachem,

I don't understand Ed's point either. I had an experience recently that's a good example of why you might always want use private datasessions. I inherited an application that used the default DS. When I asked about it I was told that the client really didn't want an event driven interface becuase the users would just be likely to get confused (I actually think that's a reasonable design decision for some applications). Of course, several months later I was asked, "How hard would it be to allow users to open a new contact without closing the contact they're working on?" Well, with tons of code assuming the default datasession, pretty damn hard!
