This is because variables are scoped to the current method or procedure. When you say that it works when your address form is called from a hot key, where is the hot key defined? Is it defined in an OKL?

When you instantiate the address form in the click method of a button, the form reference goes out of scope when the click method ends.

Hope this helps.
