>I am faced with the prospect of inserting some code into the dataenvironment before open tables procedure for some 100 odd forms. Is there a quick way I can hack the SCX file to determine which forms use a data environment? Thanks!

You could do something using the Files collection of the Project object, plus builder-type code. I'm thinking of something along these lines (totally untested):

FOR EACH oFile IN _VFP.ActiveProject.Files
IF oFile.Type = "K" && Form
MODIFY FORM (oFile.Name) NOWAIT
MOUSE CLICK AT 1,1 WINDOW (oFile.Name) && This probably needs some adjusting
ASELOBJ(aDE,2)
* Now aDE[1] contains an object reference to the DE
nDEMembers = AMEMBERS( aDE[1], 2)
IF nDEMembers > 0
* There's something in the DE
aDE[1].WriteMethod("BeforeOpenTables",cTheNewCode)
ENDIF
KEYBOARD "{CTRL-F4}Y" && set up close of FD
ACTIVATE WINDOW (oFile.Name) && this'll probably need fixing
ENDIF
ENDFOR

The pieces I'm unsure about are getting a handle on something on the form, and creating the wait state to close the form. The rest should work more or less as written.
