Pass a parameter when you call the method form_onOpen from another
function, or another form's method.
Then in the function form_onOpen you test for the type of the variable
'form'.
If it is not known, then the parameter is the object (usually another
form) which carries the properties you wish to retrieve.    If it is
known, then your alternative route is ignored.

Thus:

FUNCTION form_onOpen

parameter fm                // this will be a private variable.

if type("form") = "O"
        fm = form
endif

nCol = fm.grid1.currentcolumn

....and so on.
