What about passing a ref to the parent as a parameter, and then manipulating the properties of the parent object from the passed parameter? IOW:

loMyChild = CREATEOBJ('ChildObj',this)

or

DO FORM MyChildForm WITH this

and then create a property in the child object to hold the object ref, and assign it in the child's Init() method. Assuming you've defined a property ioParentRef in the child, add this to the Init method code:

LPARAMETER toParentObject
IF TYPE('toParentObject') = 'O'
   this.ioParentRef = toParentObject
ELSE
   RETURN .F.
ENDIF

You can then access Public properties and methods of the parent within the child via this.ioParentRef. Just remember to release the reference this.ioParentRef in your Release() or Destroy() method of the child.
