Hello Nadya,

Yes, that is what I have been doing myself :) I didn't want the original poster to think that a private datasession on the 1st form would prevent the 2nd form from seeing the open tables.

>If the second form want to share calling form DS it should use default DS, while first form better use private DS. I got this advice from John Koziol (if I recall it right) two years ago and I implemented it successfully lots of times since then.

>>PMFJI...if the first form has a private data session, that is not a problem. It is the data session of the 2nd form that is relevant (like James was saying).
