Robert,

The only form you were needed to change was the Lookup form, where instead of Private DS you would use Default DS (set it in design-time).

Here is how it works:
Parent form has a private DS
Child form (called by parent) has Default DS

Thus child form automatically shares parent's DS. No manipulation with DS is required.

I believe this idea was initially introduced by John Koziol 7 or more years ago.
