>I have two forms in an application with private datasessions that open some of the same tables. If one of the forms is already up, the second fails to load and gives a "Table in use" error message - though, if I understand private datasessions correctly, this cannot be. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Settings like SET EXCLUSIVE, SET MULTILOCKS, SET DATABASE are scoped to each Datasession. See SET DATASESSION in the VFP help for a complete list of such settings. What this means is that you will have to set all these in the form Load for any form that uses private DS. Actually, my form baseclass does all this for me regardless of the DS setting.
