Hi Randy.

>I'm would like to be able to control whether or not the tables in my dataenvironment are read only or not at form startup. I know I can't do this by passing parameters to the form since the dataenvironment is loaded before the Init of the form.

Try setting DataEnvironment.AutoOpenTables to .F. so it doesn't automatically open the tables. Have Init accept a parameter (like tlReadOnly), go through the Cursor objects in This.DataEnvironment and set their ReadOnly properties appropriately. Finally, call This.DataEnvironment.OpenTables to open the tables.
