You may want to try the approach used by Visual MaxFrame Professional, a third-party application framework that I use (and highly recommend <g>).

They have a method in their form class used for data entry called DeBeforeOpenTables(). In this method, they do the SET commands that are scoped to a data session:

SET TALK OFF
SET DELETED OFF
etc.

Then, in any SCX froms derived from this class, they put a call to THIS.DeBeforeOpenTables() in the DataEnvironments BeforeOpenTables() method.

>Do you know if it is possible to set talk off everywhere in the application. I did it in my main program but it seems that the behavior is not passed to the forms. Is it because they have a private data session?
