Hi Claude,

FWIW, here's the one I use. Notice it's a regular .prg file, because that way it sets the current data environment. If it were a class, it would set the environment that was active when the class was instantiated.

* Program....: SETPRIVATEDATASESSIONENVIRONMENT.PRG
* Version....: 1.0
* Author.....: Andrew Coates
* Date.......: March 27, 1999
* Notice.....: Copyright © 1999 Civil Solutions, All Rights Reserved.
*            : Released into the public domain Febuary 20, 2003
*            : Code supplied AS-IS -- No warranty expressed or implied
* Compiler...: Visual FoxPro 06.00.8167.00 for Windows
* Abstract...: Sets the environment for a private data session - called from a program because it operates in the data session from which it was called
* 	as opposed to method code which operates in the data session of its parent object
* Changes....:

* List of commands taken from the SET DATASESSION help topic
SET ANSI OFF
SET AUTOSAVE ON
SET CARRY OFF
SET COLLATE TO "MACHINE"
SET CONFIRM OFF

Cheers,

Andrew
