i have mygrid1 on form1. i also have a toolbar that show form findrec. this form has a text box that asks for search string and a command button to do the locate. i want to mygrid1 to point to the found record while form findrec is active. so i do this (thanks to borislav borissov)

in the toolbar i have

do form findrec with thisform

i add a propery frmwithgrid on form findrec. and in it's init event i have this,

lparameters frmwithfrid
if type("m.frmwithgrid") # "O"
   thisform.frmwithgrid = null
else
   thisform.frmWithGrid = m.frmwithgrid
endif

in locate i refresh mygrid1 with this,

thisform.frmwithgrid.mygrid1.refresh()

but mygrid1 does not point to the found record, so i put setfocus first to mygrid1 with this,

thisform.frmwithgrid.mygrid1.setfocus()
thisform.frmwithgrid.mygrid1.refresh()

in the first search, mygrid1 highlights the found record. but after the second try, i get error "activeform is not an object".

what to do? pls help.
