>Thought I had this fixed but still not fixed in production. I have a form that contains a list of Word templates the users can pick that I then fire up the template in Word and pass in some data (from the current form). The list of templates is in a contained VFP table that has fields for template name, a field for a "when" expression (i.e. user can only run the template when the "when" condition evaluates to .t.) and then a field to hold the name of a procedure to convert the data into the form the template expects.

>To be able to use the overall process from form to form, many of the steps involved are in a "wrapper" class that is instantiated to a global object so I can use it all over the place. In this case, the wrapper procedure does all the basic things needed - checks that the template exits, fires up an instance of Word, creates a document from the template etc...).

It seems that something is making my process run "outside" of the current datasession such that it does not "see" the views that I am pulling data from. This can happen when I am either trying to EVALUATE() the "when" condition or "run" the data procedure.

>I have tried to debug on the network by having a menu item that calls a built in "table/view viewer" - but it also "messes" with things as it is also a form that opens in its own datasession. When I invoke it and switch to the correct data session, all the tables and views are there that I require - so nothing is closing them.

>By rights nothing in my code should change the current data session - the code under the picklist is simple in that it picks up and passes the template name to my wrapper class method .CreateDocFromTemplate(). This wrapper class is a custom object (i.e. not a form) so that should not mess with the data session. I read through and no other object is called that changes the data session.

When you say "...I get "alias not found" errors all the time" do you mean:

- you get these errors every time, or
- you get these errors intermittently but frequently
