You're wellcome anytime.

myglobalarray[ix]=thisform         && or any object reference on hand
myglobalarray[ix]=thisform.label1  && Another object ref
*If true referencing is not used (name used)
oMyneededobject = evaluate(myglobalarray[ix]+".myObjectName")
oMyneededobject.anyproperty = myValue
* Or
&myglobalarray[ix]..myObjectName.anyproperty = myValue
* Or
with evaluate(myglobalarray[ix])  && might be eval("myFormset."+myglobalarray[ix])
  .anyproperty=myvalue
