Hi,  
I need to return the value of a global variable into a method, and I am having some trouble.

Below is the code, basically I want to return the value of “formname” into the below method.

So if the formname variable = invoice\_data\_entry below would be

form.invoice\_data\_entry.cust\_name = org\_name;

var formname = globals.statusForm

form.formname.cust\_name = org\_name;

//close popup box  
application.closeFormDialog()

I hope this make sense

PJR
