Great minds ... :-)


>Another place I've had to use it is when I have a application type object that needs to reference tables from a PRIVATE DATASESSION type form. The application object has to do a SET DATASESSION TO the form's datasession, do it's manipulation, and then SET DATASESSION back to the original one of the application object.

Because there is no bound controls, this works. Doug Hennig also uses this technique in SDT to handle all the database/table operations. His stuff accepts a datasessionID parameter and swtiches as needed.
