oh ja, i forgot: i work with Vfp6 Sp5


>well, those datasession’s (DS) really drive me nuts. ok here it is - hopefully any of you out there have a suggestion of what i am so totally missing here:
>
>in my app I am working so far with default DS, haven't had a need up until now to do it differently. now i need to start a form with the same tables (all free) as the 'parent' form. so i have the calling form as default DS and the called form as private DS. so far so good.
>
>now, in the load method (and i tried the init as well) i call a custom class which resides on the _screen. this class will preload any user-access stuff needed for this form. Still, we are absolutely fine so far.
>
>in that 'GetUserAcceess()' on the _screen i have to open the 'access' table containing the access information for each user and object - so i call _screen.DbfOpen('access'), which is another custom class residing on the _screen.
>
>and this is the point where my 'toaster' explodes! up until the point of calling _screen.DbfOpen('access') the datasession is 2 (a private one created from the 'child' form). however, the first line in DbfOpen() (right after the LPara statement) the DS has magically switched back to 1 - the default one.
>
>ofcourse, after finishing DbfOpen() and going back to GetUserAcceess(), GetUserAcceess() tells me that the alias 'access' does not exist, which is correct because is has been opened in DS1.

>now will someone PLEASE explain this to me, and tell me what I am doing wrong here?

>thanks in advance
