You have the name of the form, not the object reference to it.

To get the object reference, use the _SCREEN.Forms array of active form objects. Cycle thru with:

loForm = .NULL.
FOR X = 1 TO ALEN (_SCREEN.Forms, 1)
   IF UPPER (_SCREEN.Forms[X].Name) = "FRMDUTYINFO"
      loForm = _SCREEN.Forms[X]
      EXIT
   ENDIF
ENDFOR

IF NOT ISNULL (loForm)
   &&   Do processing using loForm object reference.
   ...
ENDIF
