Doron,
You mean it's not .scx based ? If so yes sys(1271) would always be .f. Do you really need it ? You could set your forms to have unique names (maybe just same as what their scx name would be) and use that. You actually don't need to save formname then, just sys(1272) would have the all info needed.

oForm = createobject('myForm','Doron')
oForm.Show
read events

Define class myform as form
  Userid = 'default'
  Name = 'UniqueFormName'
  add object grdWithId as myGrid
  
  Procedure init
    Lparameters tcUserId
    This.UserId = iif(!empty(tcUserId), tcUserId, This.UserId)
    * with this.grdWithId
    *   .SetId()
    *   .Init && Init with particular setup
    * endwith
  Endproc
  procedure activate
  with this.grdWithId
   messagebox('Inited to :'+chr(13)+ chrtran(.FormAndHierarchy,',',chr(13)) )
   .SetId()
   messagebox('Current :'+chr(13)+ chrtran(.FormAndHierarchy,',',chr(13)) )
  endwith
  endproc
  procedure queryunload
  clear events
  endproc
Enddefine

Define class myGrid as Grid
  FormAndHierarchy=''
  Procedure Init
    * If empty(thisform.UserId) && Just init do not setup
    *    return
    * endif
    This.SetId()
    * This.SetUp()  && Setup for particular user
  Endproc
  procedure SetId
  This.FormAndHierarchy = thisform.UserId+','+thisform.Name+;
     ','+sys(1272,this)
  endproc
Enddefine

I am trying to figure out that. You may have 3 buttons calling each grid in the same form and for each one of them you need to produce a unique id. I thought maybe to sum up all columns width + the RecordSource+ Something<s>.

>>>>>What kind of expression would you pass into each grid as a unique ID. Like you can have 5 users using the same grid via the same button named Income or 5 users are using the same button named company all in the same form. Each call has its own grid saving. If the grid could be saved as a class then it has the same form and same grid name all the time.
