    On top of the above there is an Object component within the AX kernel, from which all Classes are extended as the top level/mother of all, that's how you could override a couple of standard methods on them by default such as new and main.

    Hi,

    In addition to explanation from Crispin, element is the keyword that used to access Form as Form is contained within object FormRun and can be referred by element reference.

    Object is the instantiated version and that can be accessed by this keyword.

    Can you give us some context, please? These words can refer to many different things.
