Plenty of ways to do it but I'd avoid global variables if you can help
it.
If we knew more about the purpose/application, I think you could get
additional advice.
Typically, I have a form that is a List/Library form. User clicks on
the "Add" (record) button and I launch the 2nd (MODAL!) form like this:
cmdAdd.Click code:
thisform.AddRecord()
* thisform.AddRecord code:
DO FORM frmNewRecord NAME loFrm NOSHOW && this form uses an object
called oRecord in the form, complete with the field names I need
loFrm.cMode = "ADD"
loFrm.Show() && user does his voodoo here and presses either the Save or
Cancel button, setting the lSaveChanges form property
if loFrm.lSaveChanges then
liKey = this.obiz.AddRecord(loFrm.oRecord) && will add the record and
return the PKey generated (if using autoinc integer keys)
endif
loFrm.release
this.GetRecords() && requeries list/library
select (this.grd.RecordSource)
locate for iid = liKey
this.grd.refresh()

You could pass a parameter when you create the 2nd form and pick that
up in
the Init of the 2nd form then set a property on the form with the
object
reference.
You could create the form and then set a property on the 2nd form with
the
object reference (depends if from is modal or not).
You could use _Screen or some other public object to hold a property
with
the object reference.
You could create a variable scoped public and set that to the object
reference.
I am sure there are more but that should give you something to work
with.

Darren, thanks for your suggestion.
But I'm stuck on how to pass such a reference Can you suggest?

Yes be the answer.
I'd probably attack it by passing a reference to the text box to be
updated to the 2nd form. In the control on the 2nd form interactive
change event have that set the caption of the text box on the first
form to the value of the control on the 2nd form.

Subject: updating 2 forms
Friends
In a new application I am developing, I have a Form with a Command
button The Command button opens a 2nd form
When my client enters data into this 2nd form, I need to show what is
being typed in a Text box on the 1st form.
Can that be done?
