>>>> Hello, I have 2 VFP9 modeless forms with private data sessions. Both forms share several data files. If I make a change in one form, how can I get the other form to recognize the updated data ? Thanks, Kent <<<<
Hi Kent, That is a "Classic" problem solved by many, many of the VFP Frameworks, like www.promatrix.com with Visual ProMatrix. They often use the concept of an application "object" that is at all times available. Within the application object, lists, names, arrays, etc... are kept available and dynamically updated with a reference to every open form in the application, providing an easy object reference to the form. That is the long answer,,, The short answer is you could do a simplified version of the same by interrogating all of the active forms in your application by referencing _screen.activeform Or Looping through all of the _screen.objects and referencing them by element - looking for your particular object/form and getting a reference to that forms object ... It's so much easier to have/use a Framework - believe me. Cheers John C.
