Hi
I've seen that calling a method of an object automatically switch datasession to datasession in which object was created (Default?).
You can add a property to your form class to you store reference to oToolBox at Init(). Then all will take place in form's datasession.
You can call thisform.oToolBox.oGlobalStr.GetLogSeekStr(...)
After I've done this, I didn't need to switch between datasessions any more.
