object not found

[asm338s]

I am using 2 forms to search for records in a table. FormA shows the table and upon cliking a button formB pops up to search for a particular record in the table that these forms are using. I am using the following code under formB keypress method: so when user presses ESC at a particular record it closes formB and shows formA with the selected record as the active record.
IF (nkeycode = 27) OR (nkeycode = 13)
thisrecord = RECNO()
thisform.release
GOTO thisrecord
formA.refresh
endif
It gives me an error saying object formA not found.

Thanks

Did you create an object reference in the variable formA?

DO FORM MyForm NAME FormA

or

FormA = CreateObject("MyLib.MyForm&quot

or

DO FORM FormA Jon Hawkins

Assuming that FormB is a modal form that uses the default datasession (not private), change the code to:

IF (nkeycode = 27) OR (nkeycode = 13)
thisform.release
endif

Then in FormA's click code:

...
DO FORM FormB
Thisform.Refresh()
...

If FormB is a modal form that uses a private datasession, then change the code to:
** this is the same as above **
IF (nkeycode = 27) OR (nkeycode = 13)
thisform.release
endif

Then if the Form's UNLOAD() method:
RETURN recno()

And in FormA's click code:

...
lnRecno = recno()
DO FORM FormB TO lnRecno
GOTO lnRecno
Thisform.Refresh()
...

Jon: No I did not create an object reference to formA.

Rick: I got rid of the object not found error with your tips, but the record selected on formB still doesn't shows up as the active record on formA.
