As stated by many:

1) There is no way to prevent the grid from changing the alias.

2) If you are going to use grids, you can never assume what the current alias is at any given moment. You need to explicitly select the required alias before any code runs.

That is the only answer!!!!!

Why do you insist on asking the same question over and over and over and over, expecting to get a different answer.

I believe that the correct answer in your case is that you or who ever originally created the app, didn't code defensively for these types of scenarios. Since using a grid requires defensive programming, you can not use grids in your app without a substantial amount of work.

>All my forms already use a private datasession. The problem is that the current alias has been changed automaticly by anyone of the grid events. Even changing the column width changes the alias automaticly.
