Here is the code:
*Close data

* set step on
Open data l:\ves\data\ves

*-- load this data environment in form dummy
ot1=create('dummy')
ndatasess = ot1.DataSessionID
Set DATASESSION TO ndatasess

If ! used('lv_master2_config')
Use lv_master2_config in 0
Endif

It's not a rights issue or path on the network. I am loged in as myself instead of testing at a lower level of security. Supervisor, Domain Admin

What is wild is that all the doform(' ') stuff works, the data is there and everyting is fine. I't just a few old gross progams that combine data and then print that are choking.

The lockscreen is .false. showing default in the properties. When I take the default vfp base textbox is reacts the same way?
