could not get the textbox running - after trying to set it up in new form - a little over my head i think.

I came across this code in http://tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=6540
it seems to be what i'm looking for but it breaks down pretty quick after here "Define Class form1 As Form" with error messages:.oform1 is not an object etc. am i wasting my time to try and adapt this?

any help appreciated with thanks

****** VFP9 with SP 1
Public oform1

oform1=Newobject("form1")
oform1.Show
