Miyako, I didn’t give the full background. I have a component which makes methods and forms (to be used as subforms) available to its host. I want to keep the interface between the component and the host as simply as possible. Some methods need to be run in the context of the subform. It’s nice for the host not to care whether a component method it calls need to be run in the subform.
So the component checks to see if a called method is being run in subform context and if it’s not, puts it into the subform context by calling EXECUTE METHOD IN SUBFORM. To do that, it has to know the name of the subform object. Of course the host could pass the name of the object; in this particular situation, it would be nice if it didn’t have to do that, if the component code could get the name of the subform by itself. If it can’t, it can’t, but it does seem a little odd. OBJECT get name(object current) doesn’t work.
