David,

Inside form methods always use thisform or this. Outside a form you can use the _screen.Forms[] collection or _screen.ActiveForm or your own forms manager object (but hardcoding a reference to an app object or form manager object can come back to hinder you). If one form is talking to another pass references from one to the other do form xyz with thisform this let's xyz easily work with any caller form.

Coding to a specific form object name restricts you too much especially when dealing with multi-instance forms.

>That all makes sense. I was thinking of "forms" at the time. Does that mean we can't or shouldn't refer to a form by name?
