>>Any chance someone knows if this works? Seems to me (without getting a chance to test it yet) that if I call my own flavor of one of the VFP wizard app's from inside my app, the wiz app will have to have it's own data session. TIA!

The host app does must of work in the VFP Default DS, it has a stateless component responsible for data mining activities that also handles loading/opening necessary tables in default data session... then all my forms except a few run in that same default datasession [DS 1]. My adaptation of the pivot wiz will get called with a DO MyWiz.app call from this default data session.

I see three options - have the stateless component do it's usual work of setting up tables before launching pivot wiz (in either default data session if that's even possible, or in a separate data session). If I go with the default component doing the work separate from my application's default data session, having it pass off a session object to the piv wiz is probably my best bet. My third option would be to roll another stateless component right into MyWiz.app and make it completely self contained.

I'm not sure at this point where I want to go... the point of my original message was to rule out the one cludge-like possibility to make the whole scenario simpler. That one possibility is "can I even get a separate MyWiz.app to see what's in my main applications DS 1"

Thanks.
