Through several layers of testing I came to the conclusion that you should not run the command SET DATASESSION TO lnDataSession from a method called by the load method of a form. I modified the base form class and added the OpenTable method, removed the datasession parameter and any datasession code. It works fine now, but I really dont understand why I could not do this from another object that was created n the main program. Hope this helps someone in the future.
