Main parent child object question

Main --> object1 --> child of object1

In the above scenario can I call a method directly from the Main to the child or do I have to set up a method in object1 to call the method from the child first and then call the method in object1 from Main?

If I can call directly to the child what is the correct syntax?

Thanks.

    Don,

    Just declare the child object in the OBJ section of Main, and you can call it directly. Keep in mind, however, that this will be a separate instance of the child object with separately-allocated VAR variables. If that's a problem, you will need to create "helper methods" in object1 to make the calls to its child for you.

    Yes it would be a problem. So a "helper method" it is! Thanks Phil.
