Multipe Forms

[FoxStudent]

I want to reference another form from the currently active one. However, I release I must have it loaded before I can do this, what is the syntax for doing this. So far I only know how to show and hide forms.

Not sure exactly what you mean, but if you are asking how to you refer to a form:

when the second form is called from the first form
Say a command button on Form1 calls Form2:
[tt]do form Form2 name MyVar linked[/tt]
you can use MyVar to refer to it.

when the second form is instantiated from a class
[tt]oForm2 = CreateObject("MyFormClass&quot[/tt]

when the second form already exists, and was not created by the first form
Tricky. If you have a custom application object, you could store references to forms there, or you could use the _screen.Forms collection to find the form you are interested in and retrieve the object reference there.
