Hello Eric,

oc is declared local at top of code, then os creates an od, and then od uses its addobject method to create an object named oc in its init method.

I can issue od.opentables and get the cursors to open, but I thought if autoopentables=.t. the DE should autoopen the tables without me using the opentables method of the DE.
