In form A, when you call form B, pass THISFORM as a parameter:

DO FORM FormB WITH THISFORM

In the form B, add a property to contain the form A reference and fill it in the Init of the form:

LPARAMETERS toForm AS Form

THIS.oFormA = m.toForm

Then you can reference public methods/properties from form B with

THIS.oFormA.MyFunction ()

Don't forget to release the property in the Destroy event:

THIS.oFormA = NULL

>I've used "Thisform" extensively when reading data from a control into a local variable, i.e., "lcTextOutput1Value = thisform.text_output1.value" but I don't know how to reference this control from a different form. For instance, let's say form "A" has a text_output control1, just mentioned above, and I have a commmand button on that form that launches form "B." How do I reference the form A control directly when focus is on form "B?"

>I'm sure there's an easy way to reference a form's controls directly by just using the form's name instead of "thisform" but I haven't figured it out yet.
