Hi Robert,
You already have quite detailed answers, but what I feel that "clearquery" method is a general purpose method not scoped to one form. If so I would suggest to create a custom class and add clearquery method to it. You could then drop your new custom class on to your forms and call :

thisform.myCustomProcsClass1.ClearQuery()
