It doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong. The form property you create, to assign the parameter to, when it's created it has value .F. by default. Have you changed this to "" in the PEM?

In the second form, I set the window type to modal and in the init I set up a parameter for the variable. I then try to assign it to a user-defined property. But I get a error message box with a .f. message that it's the wrong value,type or argument. Shouldn't the parameter be the same type of variable as is being sent from the first form?
