>>I'm using a help system that passes parameters in order to determine what help should be displayed for a particular object. I'm setting the parameter values in the GotFocus of the classes. I thought that it would be cleaner if I could just define the parameters when the OKL is called, but I get an error that "this" can only be used within a method, etc. Is there a way to pass values of the object that is current using the OKL? Thanks!

Brien,

Not sure if I'm not getting yours, or your not getting mine, but what I'm doing is using On Key Label F1 to call a second form and pass parameters to it. The parameters passed are stuff like This.Name, This.Parent, etc. Everything works fine if I define variables in the GotFocus of the object's class, but I'm trying to avold the maintenance that's involved with the coding (including using the HelpContextID). I want to simply say something like, "On Key Label F1 Do HelpForm with This.Name, This.Parent" and have it use whatever those values were for the object that was current when I pressed F1. Are you saying that I CAN do this if I pass object references instead of the variables?
