you can set your own handler before calling FrmDoDialog and then you can have all control you wish and also memory is not wiped out. all this happens only after you call FrmDeleteForm. so basich scheme of using FrmDoDIalog is frmP=FrmInitForm(formId); //do initialisation of form (same thing you would do on frmOpenEvent FrmSetEventHandler(frmP,MyEventHandler); //on ctlSelectEvents - if you mark them as handled dialog will continuye. if you will return false then dialog will end and id of selected control will be returned button=FrmDoDialog(frmP); //do all processing you want depending on pressed button //do all processing you would do on frmClose event FrmDeleteForm(frmP); and you are done. IMHO its much simpler then FrmPopupForm and FrmReturnToForm, but thats probably dependant on personal preference -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/
