This new to me so please bear with me.

What I want to accomplish is have two (or more) forms open which have one or more tables in common with out
having them them steping on each other (as far as I can tell only one form can update a particular table), that is
if record pointer(s) moves in form b it should not affect records in any of the other forms. Will private datasession
do this? For case where called form use same tables as called form and work with a subset of the data I would
use default datasessions.

What about cursors created in one form but used in called form?
