Good Afternoon All: I appreciate all the suggestions and help with this issue. I still can't make any of it work...but I tried... The good news is I figured out why in my other systems referring to a form name's object worked on other forms that were launched. Here is what I found: I read Ken's response to read the help file on 'do form' especially on NAME and LINKED and it triggered the 'why it works'. If a NAME is omitted VFP creates the object references based on file name (as read in the help file). So when another form is launched and LINKED or NAME is omitted the objects are created by default with the reference being the form's FILE NAME. It just so happens that in all the instances where I make reference to another form's object the form name AND its file spec were identical. So form name frmRoster matches frmRoster.scx file which explains why it worked. In my current form the name of the form is frmCoach and the file spec was frmCoaches.scx. When I renamed the file frmCoach.scx all behaves as it did in my other systems. I am not sure if this is a 'good' thing either. It works but probably not the preferred OO methodology...but as we all know a deadline is a deadline and I have to keep moving forward (or at least what I think is moving forward). Which brings out another interesting statement from Douglas Adams: "I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by." Douglas Adams is the former Doctor Who script writer and creator of The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy. In all my applications this statement is included somewhere in the code...when the NJ Devils scouting system was officially 1 year late I mentioned it to the powers that be and they didn't think it funny... Thanks again for all the help! Best regards,
