Ned,


It's interesting to note that if you change the DS and then CreateObject, the newly created object takes on that DS. If this works seamlessly with everything else, we are looking at a very powerful tool here.

>> SET DATASESSION TO {DataSession of other form}

AddObject(Obj) : Obj has THISFORM as its Parent.
