When you create the session, you need to name it by setting the 'Name' Property. That should not be Blaze:. Blaze connection strings need a filename after the 'Blaze:'. This would be something like myfile.blz. Look at some of the connection strings in the sample applications to get an idea. Then the session name goes in the RecSrcSession property of the form. Or you could set the DefaultSession property in the application.

By the way I don't think default Blaze Database worls. You have to explicitly create one. I have tried creating a session without a database file. I am surprized that it lets you create tables with out a database. It must be keeping it in memory. But notice that if you disconnect the session and reconnect, all the database objects disappear.

Hope this helps.
