Ned,


That's really an interesting idea. I've never tried switching DS as the help warned against doing it other than for debuggin purposes.

I suppose releasing the form releases THIS.oOtherData as well as oOtherData is a property referencing the object.

I'll try this out to see if it fits in well with the entire environment, and will get back to you.

Thanks.

Kenneth.

> SET DATASESSION TO {DataSession of other form}
