I don't think that OLDVAL()/CURVAL() works with pessimistic buffering. Also, if you want to use the same datasession as another form, just set the child for to the one you want.

DO MyOtherForm WITH THISFORM.DataSessionID

In the .Init() of MyOtherForm
LPARAMETERS vnDatasessionID
THISFORM.DataSessionID = vnDatasessionID

Now your child form is running with the same datasession as the parent. If you want to access the tables in the other form;

DO MyOtherForm WITH THISFORM

In the .Init() of MyOtherForm
LPARAMETERS voParentForm
THISFORM.oParentForm = voParentForm (assumes you created the property oParent)

Now you can utilize the DataEnvironment (and all of it's cursors) with
THISFORM.oParentForm.DataEnvironment.somecursor

Make sure to set oParentForm to .NULL. in the .Destroy() event of MyOtherForm.
