Like many of the SET commands, SET TALK is scoped to the current data session. That means that when you start a new data session TALK reverts to its default setting which is ON. You'll need to SET TALK OFF in each form. You can do that using the BeforeOpenTables event of the data session or the Load event of the form.

>We have never used the dataenvironment before, so this is the first time I've played with it. I added my free table to the environment, set my form to use private datasessions, and ran my form. To my dismay, set talk is now ON. There are values scrolling down my screen, and when its finished Set Talk goes back to OFF. I explicitly set Talk OFF in my code, but somehow it gets turned on. I removed the table from the dataenvironment and set talk remains off. Am I missing something? Thanks for any feedback.
