>>I have a simple table maintenance form - a code and a description. Rather than create 15 practically identical forms for the 15 tables, I want to pass the name of the table as a parameter to a single generic form 'TableMaint' and load the table at runtime. (I also pass the form's caption).

One of them is not to fight with DE, open all 15 tables, and in Form.Init event select appropriate table:
>**** Form.Init event
>Parameter cTablename
>Select (cTablename)


Thanks for the tip. The simplest route was the best. I was concerned about the overhead of opening all the tables, but it's not noticeably slower.
