referrencing a control on form2 from form1

[waynebrady]

How do I reference a control on form2 from within form1? Do I have to or should I use a formset?

e.g. I have a grid on form1 and "afterRowColChange" of the grid I want to automatically update/change the PDF file displayed (i'm using pdf.ocx) in Form2. If I issue
form2.olecontrol1.loadfile('myfile.pdf') from within the Afterrowcolchange event of grid on form1, I get an "Object FORM2 is not found." error

How should I reference this object?

Thanks,

Wayne

You need to use the actual name of the form, not what the default name or what the caption says. Or you can give it a name like:

DO FORM form2 NAME MyForm2

You can then reference it by:
MyForm2.Object.......
