Hi Evan,

If I'm not mistaken, thats what the Session object is for, just create an instance of one set to private, and set the datasession to that, walla, a new DS. Or even simpler, create an instance of a form class:

local lnDS

lnDS = set('datasession')
oSession = createobject('MySession')
set datasession to (oSession.DataSessionID)

*Code Stuff

set datasession to (lnDS)
release oSession

DEFINE CLASS MySession AS FORM

    Name = Session1
    DataSession = 2

ENDDEFINE

That should be the way to do, giving a PRG a datasession at design time just seems silly, IMO.
