You didn't say what the error was. Not sure here - maybe the NAME variable has gone out of scope. Is the prog that calls the form finished with, i.e. there aren't any more commands after the call to QueryForm?

It's intersting that you've named the form the same, which is what happens by default, without the NAME clause, but in that case I don't think you can utilise the default name. Try giving it another name, like "loQueryForm".

In any case, doesn't my second suggestion work, as the QuerySelect form is invoked from QueryForm, immediately after issue "thisform.refresh()"
