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

I imagine your 1st form has:

DO FORM Form2

Make that:

PUBLIC Form2
DO FORM Form2

Better use the NAME cluse as well (just to be safe):

PUBLIC Form2
DO FORM Form2 NAME Form2

But consider my other solutions, such as passing the object refrence along the forms, it is cleaner and it doesn't use PUBLIC variables.
