>I am unable to access variables in a form which is run using DO FORM from the calling program where I have declared those variables as PUBLIC. At times these variables are avaialable at the beginning of certain events like 'Init', Command-'Click' etc. but NOT FOUND in some user-methods created for the same form. I have tried to declare these variables PUBLIC in the Init event, yet somewhere along the sequence of events, the variables are 'lost', and the form's user-methods give NOT FOUND. Strangely, when I try to debug using Trace and Debug windows, the variables are lost even at earlier events/methods where they were otherwise available.

I declare public memvars in a beginning .prg that calls all other programs, forms, etc. Have not had any such problems. However, if there are any clears or releases in any forms, etc., as Cetin advised, then you've got problems.
