>How would you access a textbox on a form from anotherform or from a menu?

The simplest way is to loop through _SCREEN.Forms() collection.
FOR EACH oForm IN _SCREEN.Forms
 IF UPPER(oForm.Name)="MYFORM"
  oForm.Textbox1.SetFocus
 ENDIF
ENDFOR
Most of frameworks have special mechanism (form manager) to handle form and other application components without the above-mentioned way.
