Dragan,

I like this idea. I'm going to pursue this route and see what comes up.

Thanks a bunch.

John

The user kept complaining they couldn't see the fields. Turns out it works great when I tested it in interactive mode, but when I compiled the app to an EXE, it does not work.

When the expression builder was called, it would switch to the previous data session, set _getexpr="", call the usual expression builder, switch back to whichever data session was in effect. I've written a couple of these over the last couple of years, but they differed from app to app. I've even had one which pulled fields from SQL-side tables.
