You use one of possible ways to reference form. Another way is to provide object reference when you load a form:
Do Form myform NAME oApp.myform LINKED
and use this reference later on:
oApp.myform.property1=....
One more way (less universal) is to send object reference as parameter:
DO FORM myform WITH thisform
and use it within Myform only.
