Brien,

Because the textbox is NOT in the form. You have created a form, created a textbox, and given tehf rom a property that refers to the textbox. You have not place the textbox IN the form.

Instead try this;

goFrm = CreateObject("Form")
<strong>goFrm.AddObject("Text1","TextBox")</strong>
goFrm.Text1.Visible = .T.
goFrm.Visible = .T.

AddObject is used to add an object into a container.

You may also want to investigate the other method named NewObject that can add an object to a container.
