Nope - this does not involve creating a PUBLIC array.

In the new form:

In the basic form DEFINE, implemented at Load:

oPassedObject = NULL

In the Init:

LPARAMETER oParmObject
thisform.oPassedObject = oParmObject

anywhere in the form, you reference the parameter object as thisform.oPassedObject.MyArray[] whenever need - it can be resized, have values read and written, etc.

To call it:

oObjToPass = CREATEOBJ('Line') && or whatever
oObjToPass.AddProperty('MyArray[5,5]') && whatever size is needed
*
* Populate the array member of oObjToPass as you like
*
DO Form whatever WITH oObjToPass

This mechanism doesn't screw up as the public array would when >1 instance of the Form might exist, and doesn't break encapsulation or create any dependencies on the name of the array. It works with both modal and non=modal forms.
