Am I right and does what I did to make this work make sense? Or is there a better way to define oTable1 such as in the .PRG that runs the forms? I just want to make sure I do this completely right and not half-way since I will be applying this same technique to many forms.

I think you'ld do best by making oTable a form property in both forms. That would eliminate the need for any public variable and also eliminate the variable scoping problems you undoubtedly ran into with SCATTER MEMVAR.
