Hi Jimmy.

Why should one form have to know anything about specific controls on another form? IMHO, this may indicate some problems with your design.

Having said that, if the second form is being called from the first, here is a trick that you can use. _Screen.Activeform still references the calling form when the called form's LOAD is executing. So, in this scenario, you can add a custom property to the called form called oCalledBy use code in the called form's load like this to save a reference to the calling form:

This.oCalledBy = _Screen.ActiveForm
