Hi Jim,

I made the same assumption, but it's not a truly right. I declare a private variable in a main program pcTable and assign pcTable='' (This is important to assign a value, before using a variable). Then I create a form and test, if this variable is still visible. I found, that if I issue Read Events after
do form MyForm, this variable is still visible in all methods and events, otherwise this variable is visible only for Init and then it becomes out of scope. You can test it.

Thanks.
