Steve,

goDB is not operating in the same data environment s you form. My approach to this would be to do an AddObject() call to add the oDB class to the form and then call teh classes OpenDatabase() method. Or make the oDB class in code and make it a DataEnvironment class and do teh AddObject to the form in the form's Load.
