>I start Form1 from a program "do form Form1". On Form1 there is a command button that starts Form2 - "do form Form2". On Form2 there is a command button that starts Form3 - "do form Form3". With Form3 active I press another command button that has the code "Form1.refresh". That works fine. There is yet another command button that the code "Form2.refresh". When I press that button I get an error that says "Object Form2 not found". What am I doing wrong?

Could you explain how I declare the form as a public variable and pass the reference along the forms?
