>>>>Bacically, you cannot use constructions like Myform.cmd...., because Myform is not always the correct reference to the form's object. When you outside a form and want to refer to it, you should either path Thisform to this snippet (e.g. procedure) or have some mechanism to find the proper object reference, e.g. searching through _SCREEN.Forms collection.

>>>Edward,
>>>I don't think I am going outside the form. The command button calls a utility program which executes the above code. I believe when the report is run, the deafaults are lost since the report form.. destroys the defaults. Apparently the report makes it loose the form name. the other buttons when used work fine,
>>>only this button looses the form object name.
>>>So I believe you are saying insert thisform an assign it to x (where x is the form name) before it executes this code? as in
>>>thisform.x? before the code.
>>>thanks for the clarification and help.

>>If you run code inside the form (method/event) then you use Thisform. If you cannot use 'Thisform' it indicates that you outside the form and this case cannot rely on Form.Name. I do not quite understand how your interface works, but if you cannot just fire Thisform.cmd..., so you're outside the form. Am I correct?

>Sorry for the confusion.
>Yes I go outside the form. I stated incorrectly above. The form calls a a procedure that is stored in a procedure file, then returns the result to the form. So I am outside the form , so I believe I need to redeclare the form name in the procedural code for it to work? How would I do that exactly?
>Thanks.

There are three ways here:
1. You pass form reference when you call the procedure
DO Myproc With Thisform
and in procedure
LParameter oForm
oForm.cmd...
It's the somplest way, probably the best for isolated procedures
2. You search through the _SCREEN.Forms collection loking for your form
FOR Each oForm In _SCREEN.Forms
IF oForm.Name=="MYFORM"
oForm.cmd...
