Sergey,
Tried it. Your suggestion worked fine. I'm still a step or two away from reaching the "Aha !!! zone".
I'm running a frmTest within my TLform. The TL is named frmMain. In frmMain.Init, I put your ADDPROP() code. I start the exe, running at a screen resolution of 1280x1024. In frmTest, I place the following:

messagebox("_VFP.Width is: " + STR(_VFP.Width))                                                   &&  = 1016
messagebox("_SCREEN.Width is: " + STR(_SCREEN.Width))                                     &&  = 1016

messagebox("frmMain.Width is: " + STRfrmMain.Width))                                              &&  = 610
messagebox("_SCREEN.oTLFName.Width is: " + STR(_SCREEN.oTLFName.Width))    &&  = 610

messagebox("_SCREEN.frmMain.Width is: " + str(_SCREEN.frmMain.Width))               &&  = Unknown member

So, in summary,
1. There is no VFP function (like PROGRAM(1)) to determine the TLF.
2. I could build my own 'stack' with an array, but unless I'm using it for something else as well, there's not much point.
3. I could DO form topform name oApp.topform linked; but I'd need to name all of my topforms uniformly ('topform')
4. Using ADDPROPERTY() to the TL form, I can access the TL's properties in a class.

5. Possible AHA! Since I'll most likely have to write a formTL_dr class to handle my dynamic resizing, I could add the ADDPROP code to the TL class,
or just add it as a property in the designer. Hmm.... Thanks everybody!

>>>I'm taking my first stab at a top level form application, rather than the "In Screen (Default)" type. I'm playing around with dynamically resizing (the file examples and the Jan 99 issue of FoxproAdvisor were very helpful, thanks). I'm trying to find the right command for determining the name of the top level form, from within the application. I tried using _SCREEN, _VFP, and APPLICATION, but no joy. So far, I'm able to get it by using the following code:
>>>
>>>

>>>FOR EACH oForm IN APPLICATION.FORMS
>>>  IF oForm.ShowWindow = 2
>>>    oTLFName=oForm
>>>    EXIT
>>>  ENDIF
>>>ENDFOR
>>>
>>>IF TYPE("oTLFName")="O"
>>>   * I can now refer to it's properties, i.e., oTLFName.Height
>>>ELSE
>>>   * ShowWindow property is set to either 0 or 1
>>>ENDIF
>>>

>>>
>>>Is there a cleaner method of accessing TLF properties? I know that I could simply hard code the name, but I would like to create a class from this, if feasible. Thanks in advance...
