Hi Doug,

Directly changing 1 objects properties from another is not considered good OOP. You should provide methods in the recieving object that you can call and let the receiving object make the changes itself.

It's kinda of like asking someone else changing your socks as opposed to someone asking you to change your socks (your probably better at it than they are. < s >

IAC- The 2nd form will need to have a refrence to the first form (you know that already didn't you :). The easiest way is to simply pass a parameter to the 2nd form.

In the 2nd form create a property called oForm1. Now from MyForm1 call MyForm2 like this:

do MyForm2 with this

In the second forms init catch the parameter and put it in the property.

lparameters oForm
thisform.oForm1 = oForm

Now from anywhere on the form you can access any PEMs of Form1 like this:

thisform.oForm1.Top = 5
thisform.oForm1.Refresh()
