Actually, I think Renoir understood it better, but Hilmar is also right :) I usually open all tables in Form.Load (don't like to use DE), because Init is usually too late. Also, if I need to pass some parameters to the form, but Init is too late for these parameters, I just have them as private in the calling form/program. These variables could be accessed by Form's Load, but they would not be seen by Form's Init.
