I'd recommend using "THIS" instead of thisform because of the way I generally feel about classes and class design. I like things of a relative nature. There's probably some other (perhaps better) technical reasons but that's off the top of my head. Ok here's another---I like it because if I move the code to somewhere else, perhaps at a container level, by using THIS, it still works. If I had used THISFORM, I'd have to change my references since it's owner was no longer a form.
