If it's in the 2nd form's init, or the init of one of its member objects, active form will still refer to the form that's currently active. _SCREEN.ActiveForm won't change until you've called the Show method of the new form. If the code is somewhere within the form, just use Thisform instead of _SCREEN.ActiveForm.

Well, maybe not dumb, but when I venture forth what seems like the obvious choice I worry that it will insult the reciepient. But sometimes what's obvious to one is not to another, so you never know.
