Where did you put this code? You realize that after you DO a form, control is passed to that form and does not return to the calling procedure until control is surrendered back? For debugging try:

look at what _screen.activeform.name returns. Try to reference the form using that name.

You are on the right track, I'm sure there is just something silly holding you up...
