Hi All,
I run VFP7 SP1
I found a problem with APPLICATION.ACTIVEFORM. Every of my forms Owns a Method GetSettings wich returns Settings in a Array

If I run

*make sure we have APPLICATION.ACTIVEFORM
...
loForm = APPLICATION.ACTIVEFORM
loForm.GetSettings(@laSettings)
...

laSettings remains unchanged. If single step it, I can see the parameter changing in GetSettings but laSettings is not changed.

If I catch an other reference to the form using SYS(2017) the Array is changed.

If I compare loForm with the reference from sys(2017) it returns .f.

But it is the same object!

So I play arround and found finaly:
*make sure we have _SCREEN.ACTIVEFORM
...
loForm = _SCREEN.ACTIVEFORM
loForm.GetSettings(@laSettings)
...


it runs.

If I compare loForm with the reference from sys(2017) now it returns .t. (as expected)

So, where is the differnce between APPLICATION.ACTIVEFORM and _SCREEN.ACTIVEFORM?

Any suggestion is welcome

Agnes
