Michael,

You can also use containership to help solve this problem. You can either at design time add your object to the form, or at runtime add with:

this.AddObject( "oDataConverter", "DataConversion" )

Then inside the custom class you can simply:

this.parent.prgbarOverall...

>I have created a custom object which converts data from a group of Foxpro 2.6 for DOS tables to a Visual Foxpro database. I have a form which has two progress bars and a command button to execute the conversion. When this form is executed, it instantiates the conversion object and assigns it to a property of the form. I want to update the progress bars in the form from the object. How can I reference the form from the object. I have used the syntax: _screen.forms().prgbarOverall...... I keep getting a error saying that "forms" is not an object. Any help is greatly appreciated.
