Try doing something else the manual suggests: Pass a value in the data
field to the callback function. Each object passes a unique value. Case on
that, if you must. Then, using your global
forms, access the appropriate object label. No need for more FD_xx variables.
There are other possibilities as well, but this is the most straight-forward,
if simplistic.
