>how exactly does one initialise a variable inside a form?
If it is to be used only within a method, the preferred method is to use a local variable. Example:
local i
for i = 1 to ...
...
next
If you need a "variable" in several methods, use a form property. In the following example, the form receives some parameter in the Init() method, and uses it somewhere else.
lparameters tcSomeValue
ThisForm.AddProperty("cSomeValue", m.tcSomeValue)
MessageBox("The parameter passed was: " + ThisForm.cSomeValue)
