John,

It's muich easier if you can set the second form to Default DS, that way it opens inside the private DS of the launching form.

>I need to pass a cursor that resides in a form with data session set to private to another form. I know it kind of defeats the whole purpose of having a DS that's private and wanting to do this but I have the need nonetheless. I know I can't pass a whole cursor as a parameter (w/o using ADO?) but is there another way?
