Default data sessions etc

[Bertiethedog]

If I set the datasession to private and all the subsiduary forms have the datasession set to default, will the subsiduary forms have access to the calling forms tables or do they need to be reopened and the record pointers reset.

Regards

Richard,

It depends what you mean by "subsidiary forms".

If you mean that a form called by one that has private data session, then the answer is Yes.

In other words, suppose Form A has a private data session. It opens the Customer table, sets the index to ID, and moves the record pointer to record 30.

Form A then calls Form B, which has a default data session. Form B will see that Customer is open, its index is ID, and it is sitting on record 30. If Form B moves the record pointer, Form A will see that change.

Does that cover the situation you had in mind?

Mike
