why do you say that if your form does not have any DE it will use the calling form's DE (even if it is private)

I have a report with I need to print with different headers and different subsets of the data, I use this approach (with private datasession)
btw, I also exlude the report and change headers etc. before I print the report (this way I save on the number of reports files needed)
