I normaly put a call to a user funcion, or metod, in the beforeopentables() metod in the datassesion of the form. I do not know if it is the best way, but it works and it´s easy to mantain and change if you have the function in a "set procedure to " refrenced program.
if somebody have another way, let me know, please.
