I need to use this method else where so need to see if I can still further manipulate. The data objects do not understand a form reference. This is because they can be used in shared code, like data modules, and so on. A data object could still be available in memory from a form that was closed and removed from memory if the code was set up that way, then where you would be? If you examine them, they do not have a parent property. If you follow the logic:     this = rowset     parent = query object     parent = form Ken -- *Ken Mayer* Ken's dBASE Page: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase The dUFLP: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/index.htm#duflp dBASE Books: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/Books/dBASEBooks.htm dBASE Tutorial: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/Tutorial/00_Preface.htm
