Still another method...

If you can make the second form modal, set the first form to private datasession, the second (modal) form to default datasession. The second form will now be using the first form's datasession. It MUST be modal, however.

>I'm calling a second form from an inital form and they both use the same tables and same relationships. When the second form is called the record pointer moves from the first form. I've tried setting Autoclose tables to .f. in the first form but get the same results. Any ideas? TIA
