The rowsource data is a cursor which is the result of a lot of processing (xtabs etc). The second form cannot share the datasession of the first because the first still needs to be able to navigate to allow the user to view previous versions of the data while editing the current data in the 2nd form.

So, you have a grid of data, and you want to launch a second grid of the same data to edit?

How about doing a create cursor from the original cursor... append the data to it, use that cursor as the rowsource of your second view? You can do this all in the same data session.
