Hello Ken, Thanks very much for the quick reply.
I had no idea I could pass parameters like that. Probably should have looked in the help ... Thanks also to Richard and Dave.

Typically I do something like this (untested and no error-trapping, but enough to give the gist): DEFINE CLASS Form1 AS Form ModalResult = "" PROCEDURE LaunchForm2 oForm = CREATEOBJECT("Form2",THISFORM) oForm.Show(1) * Do something with THISFORM.ModalResult here.... ENDPROC ENDDEFINE DEFINE CLASS Form2 AS Form ReturnValue = "" Caller = .NULL. PROCEDURE Init LPARAMETERS oCaller THIS.Caller = oCaller ENDPROC PROCEDURE DoSomethingUseful THIS.ReturnValue = "Foo" ENDPROC PROCEDURE UNLOAD oCaller.ModalResult = THIS.ReturnValue ENDPROC ENDDEFINE Ken Dibble www.stic-cil.org [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
