Barbara you're right, the 'reports' show on the screen, you're solution about the BeforeOpenTables works well, but I can'm find my way to put this in the base class form since as far as I know there's no way to put the DataEnvironment in a form class. Any Comments?

>Jorge, you probably have a view which 'reports' its loading (even with 'no data on load' set True). Colin is correct - put your 'SET talk off' in the BeforeOpen Tables' method. You can set it into your base form class and forget about it.

>>Dorris: thanks for your reply. The problem I have is that the form is running in a private DataSession, so as far as I know, these forms can't inherit the set's statements on the top calling program or from the config file, or perhaps I'm doing some thing wrong
