Hi Thomas,

this restriction it has been removed in VFP8.
If Form.BindControls = .F., VFP not read Controls Source data
after Load() event;
when you set Form.BindControls = .T. it fill form controls
with the binded sources.

A possible use is :

PROCEDURE Form.Activate
  this.BindControls = .T.
ENDIF
