Hi Michael.

>> I'm attempting to call a form from within another form. I pass reference to the child form from the parent form and set the datasession in the child form to that of the parent form. <<

Just an aside here...if the child form is modal and you want it to share the calling form's data environment, why don't you just set the child form's datasession to the default datasession? It will automatically share the calling form's data environment even if the calling form has a private datasession.
