Terry,
That's interesting about there being little/no overhead when including the DE. It'll be useful to have its methods available.

Thanks,
Barbara

>I thought the autoopentables would do it, but apparently not. I got it to work by calling DE.opentables after using addobject on the cursors. If you didn't use a DE, then you would use USE somewhere in session or cursor creation. I tried that to see if the DE added loading time because of its overhead and found it didn't matter if I used a DE, so I am using it to get the benefits of its properties and methods.
