When I execute the statement:
DO FORM ENTRY NAME FRMENTRY

and then later try to set a variable to the active form's name:
lcActiveForm = _screen.activeform.name

lcActiveForm = 'ENTRY' instead of 'FRMENTRY' !!!!

ENTRY is not an object, FRMENTRY is though.

I need a function that returns 'FRMENTRY' instead so I can execute a statement like the one below that addresses the form object:

&lcActiveform..showtips = .T.

If the form is active I can do:
_screen.activeform.showtips = .T.

but I am storing the form objects name in charactor field in a table and need to be able to reference it without the form being the active form.

Any ideas?
