>I guess you got into trap: CREATEOBJECT() creates 'independent' object, which has nothing to do with Thisform. But if you would use AddObject, then you add new object to Form Container (exactly as Form Designer does) and everything going right!

If I used CreateObject() I thought within the form I would still have to use
thisform.oXYZ.myMethod
