Bandade one area - distroy another!!!
Hello Ed (and Thanx)
I did change the formset datasession to private, So that's why I am now required to Set Talk within that scope. A mystry remains; I've had to make the formset Private (where it was not before) in order to prevent WinSock-ing the next user of the system (only the first user could function)! These problems only seemed to surface after 11/17/99 (system compiled back in 4/8/98).
