Hi Jim,
I agree, you are right.

Putting an object reference in a property does NOT recreate the object, it simply stores a pointer to the object that already exists. If you store the name of the form then you ar43e right back to having the prpoblem of not knowing what the name of the object is this time. With storing the name of the object you also complkicate all of the code that refers to that obkect;
