You don't say where the THISFORM.GRID1.COLUMN1.TEXT1.CLICK code is, nor do you say what you mean by "it doesn't work."

It actually sounds to me like you have design issue--tight coupling between contained objects. You usually want to minimize this in OOD.

Since you have code that you sometimes need to run from the Text1.CLICK() and sometimes from another context, I would add the functional code to a custom method on the form and then call _this_ method from the click and from the other place you have.
