No quotes on 'AllBLs', both forms have to be open MDI with alias Open the first form EDIT USING formname1 where... MDI AS alias1
>From formname1 open the second form. EDIT USING formname2 where... MDI AS alias2 In formname2 SETFOCUS alias1 Will return the focus to formname1 This is the codes I use to refresh a variable lookup list box in a diffrent form SETFOCUS menuvente PROPERTY transup REFRESHLIST "TRUE" SETFOCUS grille Not sure if you can have the same name for the form and the alias.
