Thanks James.

This looks like it might work. I modified the the doform function to return an object reference to the form, and I've had some interesting results.

Thanks again

You would probably need to include the basic libraries in you app, or you could try using SET CLASSLIB TO ClassLibraryName [IN APPFileName | EXEFileName] syntax to instantiate them. a little experimentation would be necessary here.
