oForm is really the form, so you probably should check carefully proper page name. However, it's not a requirement to pass Thisform. You may, e.g. call
***button.click event
DO MyPrg With This.Parent && assuming that button is member of page
*** MyPrg.Prg
LParameter oParent
oParent.Textbox1.Enabled=.F. && assuming that textbox is part of the same page
