>Can I pass a cursor created from a called form back to a calling form? Both have Private DataSessions.

You heard some advice on giving access via set datasession, which is probably the way to go
if you need tabular access in any kind for seek() or other table based commands.

If you want to access aleady filtered data set in a "multirecord control", the fastest way
IMHO is to move the data from the calling form into an array with copy to or select into array,
perhaps using that array as datasource for a list/combobox.
You might consider rethinking your approach or at least give more info.
The basic idea of "private datasession" is to isolate those tables <g>.
