Yes, that's what I have in mind, though Help doesn't recommend to use this option.

Strange, that it didn't work with class based forms, though. AFAIK I used this technique in MereMortals framework, where all forms are classes.

BTW, there is a problem with this approach. I can pass ID to Init, but I need to see this cursor earlier, because it's a record source for the grid.

On the other hand, in form's load the screen.ActiveForm is still the caller form.
