Accessing Objects on Different Forms

Gents, to do this, do (both) forms have to be part of a FORMSET?

If not, could I see a coding example of how to access the (other) forms object?

TIA - Wayne

no they do not have to be part of a formset.

Pass the one form to the second as an object with this command.

Do Form 'SecondForm' with ThisForm

add a property to the second form - call it anything such as
lpCallingForm


In your secondform in the init event

Place this bit of Code...

Parameters loFirstForm
lpCallingForm = loFirstForm


Now you have access to all the property and methods of the first form within the second form.

good luck,
Paul

It would be as well for you to discard the use of formsets in VFP - they are basically an anachronism having been replaced largely by pageframes.

To access the PEMs, properties, events and methods of another form, you need to to create an object reference for the form with :-

PUBLIC oForm1
DO FORM Form1 NAME oForm1 LINKED

Thereafter you reference the relevant property, with

oForm1.lblLabel1.Caption = [Hello World]
