Mark,

From the way I read it, you need to use the DataSessionID property.

But. . . there doesn't seem to be any way to simply say 'the next available one', and it appears that you need to do some kind of loop to learn which are "alive" (and thus which might be "free" to use.

Looks like a missing command option that someone should include in the Wish List.

Cheers,
Jim N

>>>>>If I have forms with private datasessions, how can I tell what datasession number I am in? Specifically, I have a form that starts in the default datasession which could be a private datasession from a calling form. Once I have a piece of data from that default private DS, I want to start another private DS for the child form with SET DATASESSION TO somenumber. I do not want SomeNumber to be the same DS number as one already in existence.
