Accessing property from one form to another form

[jerold]

I have this form1 and form2. One cmdbutton.click of my form1
run this code <do form form2>. Then the form2 has cmdbutton.click that do some filtering on a table which is in the dataenvironment of the form1.Upon finishing this code it releases <thisform.release>.
My problem is how would I perform a refresh on the form1 so that I could see the filter changes.
Please help me.

Thank you.

Just refresh Form1 before you release Form2

Note: reference to form1 by filename, not form name

***************

Form2_Unload
Form1.refresh

Hi jerold,

My problem is how would I perform a refresh on the form1 so that I could see the filter changes.

If form2 places a filter on the table, when control returns to form1, the filter will persist unless you SET FILTER TO to remove the filter. So form1 will recognize the filtered table.

If what you are really asking is how to refresh the data in a grid contained on form1, just call the grid's requery method.
Example:

DO FORM1 && form with grid containing data from the table

PROCEDURE FORM1.CommandButton.Click()
DO FORM2 && as long as it's modal
THISFORM.Grid.Requery()

THISFORM.Grid.Requery()

I suspect a typographical error!
