>Hi all,

>I'm trying to access the fields of a data table or the contents of variables in a form running in a private datasession - from another .prg running from the menu, not the form. I can do it if the form is not running in a private datasession and I can't change a dataseeeion while the form is running. And I've done it by a button on the form but I want to do it from the menu.

You can use the forms DataSessionID property. You will need to pass this from the form unless you have given the form an alias. Basically, SET DATASESSION TO form.DataSessionID - don't forget to set it back to what it was before changing it.
