Gerard,

You won't have to worry about the data session, because when you use SCATTER NAME MyRecord, the object MyRecord is scoped to the form (you'll need to create a form property called MyRecord).

Only problem is that you *will* have to change all your ControlSources from m.MyField to MyRecord.MyField.

HTH,

>>>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 >.
