OK, so is there any way to do that in apps that instantiate forms from a 
separate class, like the gambas gui?  I first set form controls to public in 
the compile time options (thanks :) ), added a workspace to FMain as 
Workspace1, and changed the following in the Project module:

  ToolForm = NEW FTool

to

  ToolForm = NEW FTool(ProjectForm.Workspace1)

and it errors out on that line with "Unknown symbol 'Workspace1' in class 
'FMain'.  I tried some intermediate steps like 

PUBLIC ws as Object (outside of sub main)
ws = ProjectForm.Workspace1
ToolForm = NEW FTool(ws)

but it errors out on Workspace1 the same way.  Finally I tried to copy what 
you did with the database manager (make a static public member of FMain 
called Workspace and set it to the workspace object in _new) but then when I 
tried

ToolForm = NEW FTool(ProjectForm.ws)

I got "FMain.ws is static".  Did I get the syntax wrong?
