Alternatively, you can pass the form name to the second form as a parameter, store it to a form property and use it for any purpose:

do My2ndForm with thisform   
** calls the second form, passes the present form name.
** In the INIT of the second form
Parameters oform
thisform.ocallingform = oform
** Stores the form name in a form property 
** be sure you've added this form property

** Later in form
thisform.ocallingform.release()
** Will release the first form

I use this method frequently for storing information in the calling form - if I've done a find, a memoedit, etc.
