Hello folks!

I've yet to figure a couple of things out, and was hoping a kind soul might help me out.

1. How does scope of variables within forms work. I was thinking that if I assign a value to a variable in the Init() of a form, that all the methods of the controls on that form could see it, but I was undoubtedly wrong. Could someone please explain the heiarchy in the forms, or point me to somewhere I can find it?


2. I have the form designer open just slightly bigger than the form I am working on so that I can see other things on the foxpro desktop. I open up a code window for a control on the form and when I close the code window, the form designer is maximized. Yeah, so what I have to hit the restore button, but that is tedious and it is starting to drive me nuts, any way to prevent this?

TIA as always
