I have some doubts here - I think they inherit the settings which were active during creation (or last modification?) of the form. Should check this out.

OK, checked - it really uses default settings... I just wonder how did I circumvent this. AFAIK, I've set the environment somewhere in the form's (class) Init, switching from private to global datasession, and copying the settings into the private datasession.
