LOL! I got 2 people suggesting this and one person saying it's unreliable and I shouldn't do it. :)

The best idea I've seen so far is to use a different object for the properties as for the methods. I think I'm gonna run with that one. I can't spend all day just trying to get this one picklist populated.

Thanks everyone for all of your help. I appreciate it.

>Ok, I see. You can add a new method to your object SwitchDS. This method will save current DS and set DS to passed DS. In form's destroy you will call RestoreDS() method of this object.

>>The thing is that I wasn't _instansiating_ the object from the form at all. I was just calling it from there. It's a global object. That's what the problem was. But making it a local object makes it useless, so my only option is to give up on trying this n-tier thingy and going back to just talking to the data directly.
