Thanks for the input here Barbara,

I have wondered why VMP opens all of the data in the default data session when we still have to open up the tables we need in each of the forms. Do you know why they do this? I guess your suggesting not opening all of these tables, except appinfo, in the default data session. This makes sense to me, I would also think this would speed up application startup. Are there any concerns I might want to think about prior to making this change in ctrPAApp that you can think of?

Thank you very much,

Paul
