The form selects the "DataSession". It can be the default (I guess whatever session is open /opened when the form loads), or private, which means the tables are only select-able inside the form, The DE object would be created seperate from the form. Most likely, the init event would instance the OpenTables. If the forms datasession is private, and - for example, the command window was selected to browse a table in the DE, the table would have to be opened in the command window before a 'browse'. If the data session of the form was 'default', I think the table could be browsed from the command window (outside the form) without an opentable or use command.
