There is a method called BeforeOpenTables() in the DataEnviornment of your form. Try putting a SET TALK OFF there and see if that helps. I've had the same problem in the past.
>I have a *splash* form that I leave displayed in the center of the screen. The form has a private DS (tried with default DS as well). Set Talk is off (form load) and the initial default (_screen) DS has Talk set off as well (debugger confirms this).
>
>During app setup, I have an AppMgr object instanciated in the default DS where I store properties, etc. One of which is the original search path I want to track. I issue:
>
>oApp.OriginalPath = set("Path")
>
>The set("path") part echoes its result to the form. What, if anything, have I missed?
>
>TIA.
