I want to determine the window state of a form which is not the current form.

I've got 3 forms--the men_code.scx which calls codes.scx, and the current one which is called by codes.scx.

Of the following lines:

cMenu=Men_code.WindowState && this is the form which calls codes which calls the current form
cCall=Codes.WindowState && this is the form which is called by men_code and which calls the current form
cThis=Thisform.WindowState && the current form

The only line that doesn't work is the middle one. I've tried publicizing Codes but that didn't work.

Can anyone think of why Men_code would work but Codes would not? (BTW, the error says "Codes is not an object." I did try changing the name to TEST and COMPONNT, thinking perhaps Codes was a protected word or something--that didn't work either. Also, the codes form does appear in the call stack.
