Hi Mike,
>VFP has datasessions, so IMO that means we deviate from the standard approach enough to deal with that idiosyncracy, not re-engineer the pattern.
You must be carefull using the SET DATASESSION command, remember what the helps says
"SET DATASESSION typically is used to debug forms. Care should be taken when issuing this command when a form is active, because tables in non-current datasessions are not accessible."
I remember when long time ago I tried to use this command, and my grids and other controls (was it the combobox?) went blank upon calling it, I do not know if that still happens (from the help it seems to still be true) for I abandoned the use of this command
