Hi

In the INIT of FORM2

LPARAMETERS lcParm1

* Check the presence of the parameters and whether they
* have the expected type.
*
* If ok then assign to form property.
*
IF VARTYPE (lcParm1) = 'C'
Thisform.cValue = lcParm1
ELSE
Thisform.cValue = ''
*
* And any error reporting code...
ENDIF

Hope this helps.....

Add three new form properties to Form2, .cMaster, .cCode, .cName

In the .Init() event of Form2 put:-

LPARAMETERS Master, Code, Name

WITH THIS
[tab].cMaster = Master
[tab].cCode = Code
[tab].cName = Name
ENDW

DO FORM FORM2 NAME oForm2 WITH "Master", "Code", "Name"

You can now access those properties by:-

oForm2.cCode = [12345]

hi,

I tried that, it worked fine, but have one more problem. I have one command button, in that click() event of the button i am accessing this .cMaster etc.. Whenever i click this button i am getting error of "varibale cMaster Not found"

I have Added this 3 property in Load() event of form2.

any suggestions.

Use "thisform.cMaster" instead of "this.cMaster".
