Gaylen,
Is the second form a modal form? Are you calling your '124' form properties from another form? Is the form name variable visible from the place you're trying to refer to it or is it out of scope? (Bad grammar but I hope you understand!)

You can always run through the _screen.forms() collection to find any open form. This may give you a hint as to why you don't see it when you expect to.

>If I call a form with 'do xxxx name 123' I can use '123.name' of property to access its properties. If I call a form from that form with "do xxx1 name 124 I can't access its properties with '124.name' of property. It states it cannot find 124.
