There can be two instances of the same form, inside them a container, etc. Comparing corresponding objects from those containers we'll find out that they are equal (which is not true).

>Thats is why my suggestion first comapre the names of teh two object adn then the names of each one's parent object. If they have the same name and they in the same container then they must be the same object. VFP would bark up a storm if we tried to put two object with the same name in the same container.
