Addressing Objects Within Formset

[IForgot]

I am having a great deal of difficulty addressing objects on a formset.

When I do a "functional convert" of a FPW screen to VFP6 or 7 it creates a formset with my screen 'objects' displayed.

My problem is that when I attempt to use one of the objects VFP tells me that it does not know what I am talking about.

Example resulting from FPW to VFP conversion:
frsBrwsBOM
gcBrwsWind
PageFrame1
Page1
cmgpbDates
Command1
grdBOM
Column1
Header1
Text1
Column2
Header2
Text2

When I attempt to do something like
ThisForm.Command1.Enable = .F.
It doesn't recognize COMMAND1
OR
frsBrwsBOM.gcBrwsWind.PageFrame1.Page1.grdBOM.Column1.BackColor = RGB(255,255,0)
It doesn't recognize gcBrwsWind

Why is this happening?

The values look OK to me and they are consistent with what I see within the Form Designer properites window. But VFP does not seem agree for some reason.

Your advice and assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Try:

ThisFormset.gcBrwsWind.PageFrame1.Page1.grdBOM.Column1.BackColor = RGB(255,255,0)

Whenever you are in doubt about how to reference an object in code...right-click wherever you are writing your code within the formset and left-click on Object List...this will bring up a list of objects that your formset contains and just left-click on the one you want to reference and you will see the proper syntax show up for you automatically. Just a little tip that might help you out in the future.
