>>Look at the _SCREEN.FORMS() array. You can look at the following:
>>_SCREEN.FORMS(i).Name or any other property. The problem is if you DO a form it does not have the same name as the form that you ran in the _SCREEN object. It is a member of the _SCREEN but you refrerence it using the _SCREEN.FORMS() array. You can read the name out of the _SCREEN.FORMS().Name property and/or any other property after checking that you have the correct form in the array for reference. You could also set a variable reference to the form such as:
>>oForm = _SCREEN.FORMS(i)
>>
>>However, beware that setting a reference to a form object or anyother object will not allow that object to be released until the variable reference is released by either oForm = '' or oForm = .null.

Why not use a named form?

do form form1 name form_a
do form form2 name form_b
do form form3 name form_c

You can then access the form objects with form_b.property.
