I can get the action to fire both on before and on after but I cannot get the
form to close. I have a watch variable that sets to 0 if the password fails
and I've tried on entry to the first fieldif vwatch =0 then
closewindowendif
but that does not close form

Javier,
Custom Form Actions are part of the form, and the form MUST be painted
(displayed) first in order to execute any code that belongs to it.
That is as simple as it can get to explain why such behavior occurs.
Therefore, calling CFA as On After Start EEP is the logical approach.
Very Best R:egards,
