Title:
Sharing Data Between Data Sessions
I have an application that extracts data from an outside source and stores this in various cursors.
These details are extracted using routines provided by a third party software provider so it is not possiblt to extract using an sqlselect. The data will not be updated but will be used for reference purposes only.
Because it could take 15-20 seconds to extract all this data I have decided that I would like this to happen when the user first signs on to my application and that the data will then remain available for the duration of the session.
At present, these cursors are created in the 'main' program that starts the application and this program then runs the menu. The problem is that the forms called from the menu use private data sessions and I cannot get them to see these cursors that are sitting in their own different datasession.
Is there a way of doing this other than having my forms use the default data session?
Thanks
Sue
