I don't think you need to use a dataenvironment class like this. I now put "RETURN .F." in the init of the dataenvironment so that it is not created after LOAD and I do all the file opening in a Custom class which is in a prg as many have suggested. It works fine and there is no "dataenvironment". Does anyone know of an advantage of using a dataenvironment class?
