Tan,

Well, yes and no. If the table is in the dataenvironment, the form opens it when it is launched. When I said "it does mean that I have to open the table", I meant that the table has to be specifically opened, either by the developer using code or by the developer by placing it in the dataenvironment, each time the form is launched.
