Hi Randy,

Did you find the cause of the problem?

Here is the test I did for the case of form with Grid. I insert select ReportAlias and Browse commands just before Report Form command. In the browse I see, what all necessary fields are presented. The funny thing is: that with Browse command all works fine. If I comment Browse, it produces "Variable not found" error. Try this test to see, if you have the same problem.

In my case we have main application, which calls another application. If this application uses Private DS, the problem goes away too. But I'm not 100% sure, this application has to have Private DS, besides, IMO, the problem should be fixed in the main application first.
