I was getting an object does not exist message.

The dll was created using VFP7

I have an application which interfaces to multiple accounting packages. Each package has different options and settings. My DLL adds a container object to the main applications setting form with that interfaces options.

The DLL also handles the mapping (import/export) functions to the main applications tables.

The main application is generic in that the application tables vary from implimentation to implimentation.

What I do not understand is how to create a pointer to my current form (ie @THISFORM or @THIS.PARENT)

Also, when I check for the existence of a form it looks for a form using the name property for that form, yet I cannot reference the form object using that name.

Regards
Geoff
