Hi Marcia.. it is a typo

I have adopted your approach which works fine, but I was really wondering was there any way of using alias's that are created on a form.
(In the way, for instance, any ALIAS's in the dataenvironment can just be Used if the calling screen is a private data session and the called screen is a default data session ?

Regards,

Gerard
