>>>>I'm using SYS(1272) to return a reference to the current page in a pageframe. Then I store this in an array and try to use it to return to the last page (before the new current one). The problem I seem to be having is that SYS(1272) is returning "Form1.PageFrameA.PageA3" and any code I try when evaluating says that Form1 doesn't exist. Using "_Screen.Form1" or "_Screen.ActivePage" doesn't work either. If I check the Parent in the debugger it doesn't exist. I could do something pathetic like strip off the "Form1" from the returned string, but I just can't bring myself to do it yet. Can anyone give me some insight into working with hiarchy at these levels? Thanks!

>>>sys(1272) always starts hierarchy with formName. If formname and scx name was same it would work for the 'first' instance of that form. But there what you need to have 'thisform', right ? So just stuff() it there :

>>>lcRef = stuff(lcObject, 1, at('.',lcObject), 'thisform.')

No... I did what you said using the Stuff() command. I was just thinking outloud about understanding why it acts the way it does with the form name and scx name... Renoir
