Hi all,
nowhere in the VFP docs can I find an answer to the following problem:
The forms I use in my app have all private datasessions.
But many Set commands (like set deleted or set exact) are scoped to the current
datasession.
Therefor it is no use to do these set commands once at the beginning of my app.


I would like to put these set commands into my base class for forms. But I
can't find how. The earliest event for a form is the Load-event, however the
BeforeOpenTables Event of the Dataenvironment runs before the load of a form.
Now, there seems to be NO DATAENVIRONMENT for a form CLASS. Does that mean, I
have to put my set commands in every Dataenvironment of all my forms, even so
it is always the same code and all forms are based on the same class? Does not
seem very object oriented to me...
How can I avoid this?

TIA, Peter (Peter.Mair@cp.novartis.com)
