Thanks Gary

I am now getting the desired ffect.
Anyway for the record here is the code I am using
The form prperty oAdd2schedForm is the form I referred to earlier as oMyForm

_screen.AddProperty('oApp')

_screen.oApp=createobject('appstart')

with _screen
.oApp.AddProperty('oAdd2schedForm')
endwith

do form add2schedform name _screen.oapp.oAdd2schedForm

My problem was that when I press exit on the form in order to change something in the form desgner I lose the reference to the form. I think the form designer decides to knock it out of memory.

In order achieve the interactive debugging session I want I want I am going to have to save the form and the just re-issue a

do form add2schedform name _screen.oapp.oAdd2schedForm
each time I want to test the form.

Now that I think things through, this makes sense, since any changes I make to the form will need to be echoed into the _screen.oapp.oAdd2schedForm

DOH! My only excuse is the heat we are experiencing here in Lewes at present.
