Well, it's also could be a problem here. Yes, the form contains a Grid (several grids). This form calls completely independand application, called special. This special application consists of main program with do case, IOW,

do case
   case param1="Something"
      do something
   case param1="Another something"
      do another something
   etc.
endcase

As you can see, it runs in the form's DS. I think, this is the major problem here. Perhaps, the best solution is to create private DS by using session class (see several recent threads about it). I had a success in another application with session class.

I think, this is how I'm going to proceed to not worry about it at all. Besides, I already spent ~2 hours debugging this weird problem. Paradoxically, though, that if I issue Browse just before report form command, it works just fine.
