Hi Erik,

>The 'hacking" is a program that ships with Visual Maxframe that allows the "on the fly" changing of the parent class of an object. Supposedly there is additional behavior happening

From that description I would assume that the original form run either in the default datasession or had code in the Load event to make the necessary settings for the private datasession, while the new form was either in a private datasession or didn't have that code in the Load event.
