Rex --

I'm jumping in here because I've run into a couple interesting situations and am trying to think through the scope of vps myself.

I think your best bet is to define the use of the view with no data on load. That way you can assign a value to the vp while it is in scope, and then do a requery on the view.

Now, the one issue I've come across recently where I can't use this approach is when I'm using a bizobj who's editable view has 2 view parameters -- one returned by the Find form, and 1 set in another way. An approach that works, but for which I'm looking for an alternative, is as follows: define the vp as a public variable in the Init() of the form and assign a value there, then release it in the Destroy().
