Salut Pascal,

To solve your problem of making the child form visible to a method called from a parent, you can pass the handle of the child to the parent's method. It would work something like this:

1. In the parent method, the first line will be:
LPARAMETERS toChildForm

IF TYPE('toChildForm') = "O" AND !ISNULL(toChildForm)
* --- code to process the child
* example:
toChildForm.Caption = "I can change the child window caption!"
...
...
ELSE
* --- code to process the parent itself if no parameter was passed.
...
...
ENDIF

2. In the child form, you will need to call the parent method with THISFORM as a parameter:
THISFORMSET.Forms(x).YourMethod(THISFORM)

Of course, the exact syntax will depend on how you are calling the form.

Hope this helps,
Rishabh.
