Sergey, thanks for your helpful comments.

If I do as you suggest,(Scatter memvar Name OBJECT , will I have to modify my converted screens whos DatSource is just M.Myfield

Will I Have to change All my Data Sources to something like
MyObject.Myfield....and how will it know which data session its in ?

Regards,

Gerard



>>Hi,
>>I am converting a 'lot' of screens from 2.6 to 6 and have made the screens Private Data sessions.

>The memory variables scope isn't affected by setting datasession to private. It means that SCATTER MEMVAR in Fox 2.x format cannot be used in forms if you want to open more than one copy of the form. The clossest thing to your approch is to use SCATTER MEMVAR NAME < object name > and GATHER MEMVAR NAME < object name >. Just remember that there is no INSERT FROM MEMVAR NAME < object name >.
