Tony, I'm jumping in without all the facts, but are you passing the datasession to another form to match the data? If so, it might be easier to pass just the form object (do form2 with thisform) then store the 'thisform' object to a property in the INIT.

** INIT code
parameter oOldForm
Thisform.oOldFormProperty = oOldForm
** End

That way you can refer to the Form1 datasession with

nID = thisform.oOldFormProperty.DatasessionID

Also, you can run through the open forms using _screen.controlcount to check active DSIDs
