Chris,

I think declaring frmForm as public is putting a band-aid on the problem. Use DO FORM, or if you need an object reference for some reason (IOW, using createobject()), you can create a form manager class for this purpose. If you create the form manager object in your main program, it will be PRIVATE by default, which means it will be visible throughout.

Then from your menu, you would call something like oForms.newForm("form1") to load a new form. Of course you would have to design a forms manager class, but it would be worth the effort.

Instead of the forms manager being a standalone object, it could be an object that belongs to _SCREEN. I believe George Tasker takes this approach with his manager classes.
