>I have 2 forms, each with a private datasession but using the same file X. When Form A (modeless) calls Form B (modal), Form B updates File X. When I return to Form A, the change is not reflected until I close Form A and restart it. It does not seem to be a refresh issue, since I don't see the actual data reflected in File X of Form A. TIA, Shuli

Why not use the Default datasession for Form B? Then it will work on Form A's datasession and update the same File X without opening it in the separate datasession.
