Try doing what you need to do with custom container (probably form) properties. See how that works.



>That was my hunch as well but I guess I don't know quite enough to sort it out yet. In one case, I tried to add a field value to a public memvar where the public memvar is a directory path read from an INI file and the field value is in the current datatable. All that was returned was the public memvar.
