Still another possible method is to have the second (search) form be a modal form. A modal form can pass a value back to the form that called it.

** In the Click() method of the "Search" button
cID = ''
DO FORM MySearch TO cID

if !empty(cID)
     ** Go to the new record
     ** Refresh the form
else
     ** No record returned - user clicked Cancel or other failure
endif

**In the UNLOAD method of the MySearch form
return cNewCID
** cNewCID is the ID code that the user chooses in the MySearch Form
