Neil,

Pass a reference into the child form:

*cmdEdit.Click()
do form child with thisform

You need a parameter in the child form to accept the value, which you store away in a property

*child.Init()
lparameters roCallingForm
this.oCallingForm = roCallingForm

then you can refresh the form on the way out

* child.Destroy()
this.oCallingForm.Refresh()
this.oCallingForm = .null.

>I have a form which allows user to create subject and body for emails. On the form is a browse button which when clicked gives a list of emails that have been created in a listbox. The listbox on the form is bound to a table. When I select an email that I want to edit you select from the list box and then when you click OK the child form closes and the main form refreshes to show the email. The problem is my record pointer moves fine but the form does not refresh until I click on edit. How do i refresh the form when closing my other form please?
