All of the VFP frameworks I've encountered include a Forms Manager which does these kinds of things. I haven't worked with CodeMine but IIRC you have used it. If it includes a Forms Manager you could get some ideas from that.

I believe this is one case where you'd need to use an array instead of a cursor. Array elements can contain object references.

Depending on your needs to might be able to make use of the built in .Forms array. This is available for the _SCREEN system variable and for formsets.

That way the user would only see the strings related to the forms/formsets. When one of the strings is selected I would only have to make the good form/formset visible by using its reference.

>>Not sure what you're trying to achieve. AFAIK you can't directly store an object (or even just an object reference) in a cursor. But if you want to do what you're saying in the first line you could do something like this:
