If you need common functionality put it in some (form) class and instantiate this to _SCREEN like

_SCREEN.AddProperty('goHelper',NEWOBJECT('youclass','yourvcx'))

(if NEWOBJECT is not available in VFP 7 CREATEOBJECT might do too, or - VFP9. [eg] )
instead of calling THISFORMSET call _SCREEN.goHelper

if yourclass is a form with private DE and all other forms are open in that DE you are done - without formset.

Anyway consider to go to VFP9. Most of us think in VFP9 for an eternity and it's a pain to figure out the limitations of VFP7 ...
There is for example SESSION class that can act as your anchor, but I have no idea if this is availbale in 7.
And it looks like we might see this for some time ...
