hi steve -

the table is a free table, and here is the form call:

*-----------------------------------------------open EVAL_CAT table----
EVAL_CAT_Table_Spec = ALLTRIM(PIX_Data_Dir_Spec)              +       ;
                      ALLTRIM(CATALOG_Record_Object.Mod_Name) + '\' + ;
                      ALLTRIM(CATALOG_Record_Object.Mod_Name)  

IF ( USED ('EVAL_CAT') )
  SELECT EVAL_CAT
  USE
ENDIF                             

SELECT 0
USE (EVAL_CAT_Table_Spec) ALIAS EVAL_CAT EXCLUSIVE
SET ORDER TO TAG Pict_Num

DO FORM frm_Happy_Snappy

SELECT EVAL_CAT
USE

i never specify any data session, so i guess i'm using the global data session all the time.
