>I have 2 independent forms, the form1 opens form2. From a command button in the form2, i tried to refresh the grid placed in form1, but visual foxpro can not locate the object. I used: form1.object.refresh but it didn't work. I would like to know how can i specify the complete path of an object, to be sure that vfp will find it. I know there's a _screen variable, but i don't know how to use it or if this will be the solution to my problem. Thanks for your time. God bless.

First, add a property to your base form class called oParentForm.
Then, in the LOAD event of Form2, you can put code like the following:

IF TYPE( “_Screen.ActiveForm” ) = “O”
  This.oParentForm = _Screen.ActiveForm
ELSE
  This.oParentForm = NULL
ENDIF

This will give you an object reference to the calling form that you can use to manipulate objects on that form.
