Scope of USE command

[rfedyk]

I'm a novice to FoxPro.
If I code the following in a function:

use (monthly) in 1 as mthtab

Is the scope of mthtab local to the function or global. If it is local what do you have to code to make it global?

A table alias is "global" to a point: it is possible to have more than one DataSession (for instance, a form can create a Private Data Session). If all of your forms use the Default Data Session and you don't create new ones, then for all practical purposes any table you open is Global.
