Hi Mike

SET TALK is scoped to the datasession and defaults to ON. In your form superclass, you need to add a method that you use to establish your preferred defaults. Call that method from your form superclass's load event.

>I have a VFP8SP form in which I open a local view in the form's private datasession. When I run the form from the project manager, there is a lot of information scrolling past in the VFP SCREEN (behind the form).

>I've determined that the information includes property values that I set in the form's methods (Init, Resize, etc) for height, width, etc. I've also discovered that if I set the form's datasession to Default datasession, the information ceases to appear in the VFP SCREEN and that is exactly how I'd like it to behave...no "echoing" in the background.
