Hi,
You could programmatically alter the cursorsource path in the load event of your form base class. You then do an Dataenvironment.OpenTables() in the Load.
That way you only have to write the code once.
You still have to remember to set Autoopentables to .f. in each DE, but that's easier than pasting code.
