Hi,

>>
oPro.val_contactdata()

But once I got into my val_contactdata() method, all tables opened previously are closed!!! Any clues to why this happens...again, my datasession on my form base is set to private data sessions....

What is oPro ? If it was created outside the session that you are calling it from then it will be using the datasession in which it was created...

Regards,
Viv
