Hi Alessio,

Have look at Session class (Introduced in VFP6/SP3)
It creates it's own datasession where u r free to open any data, run forms, do data processing run reports etc

This will not do any 'harm' to already open tables selected aliases record pointers etc...

When u release session object, all tables openened within are atomatically closed.

But this is not visual class, it is done in code!

Typical implementation goes like this

define class mydatasession as session

   procedure init
   this.open_data()

   procedure open_data
         *open data & relate tables

   procedure do_my_thing 

   procedure run_form
   procedure run_report
        


enddefine

After you have something like this in one of your public prgs
you can call it from anywhere by creating object based on this class

local oMySess
oMySess=createobject('mydatasession')
oMySess.do_my_thing()

It is in my opininon very flexible and practical concept,
and I use it for almost everything I do.


See manual for more deails about it.
