Excuse me, Paul, do you mean setting a property to something like "THISFORM.MyObject" and when needing the reference just issuing & on the property?

If so, that couldn't be done if I want to use the reference in another place such as another Form or another object outside it (what is very usual here). For example, how could I use a character depiction of the reference in this situation:

DO FORM MyForm WITH THISFORM

Did I understand you well or am I missing something?
