>Sound good? Is there a property or easy way to get the form's name?

_screen.activeform.name

will return the current active form's name. You can then reference it by the form's object name. Or you can do:

loform=_screen.activeform.name

and then you can reference the form by 'loform' from that point on.

Additional note added:

Since that property PROBABLY(?) only exists on a specific form, I would check to make sure it IS the active form with something like:

IF _screen.activeform.name="MYFORM"
**your code here
ENDIF

Also don't forget about multiple instance forms adding the instance number to the end of the form name.
