>>Besides, I'm not sure the DS of the form exists during its .load(), isn't it supposed to be made after it? Um... no, you're right, it has to exist, because we can open all kinds of aliases during .load(), right. Other objects don't exist yet, and the form doesn't exist, but its .datasession does, except it's still not assigned a reference.

I don't remember having problems with code in .load() and most of my forms were class based and had private DS. That being said, the opening of any cursors was delegated to bizobjs which would be instantiated in .load (as .init() would be too late).
