show forms

[choppysuey]

Hi everyone,
I'm running VFP 6 and had a quick question on hiding and showing multiple forms. If I have a command button on form1 that basically does this:

thisform.hide
do form form2

and then on form2 I have a command button that does this:

this form.hide

With both forms now hidden. How do I go about showing these forms again?

Thanks in advance

if you use do form MyForm name Form1

Then you can reffer to it by saying from1.show() and son on..

You have to use a public reference (variable) to the form. Try this:
PUBLIC oForm1,oForm2
DO FORM form1.scx NAME oForm1
oForm1.hide
DO FORM form2.scx NAME oForm2

Now you can reference your forms from each other.

Thanks for the response. Much appreciated. It did the trick. Is there a built in function that I can use to check if an object exists? I found the list object command but can't seem to find one that will tell me what objects are currently created.

IF VARTYPE(oForm1) = "O"
MESSAGEBOX("Form exists&quot
ENDIF
