>So is using LINKED "typical" by most VFP programmers? It does not sound like one would use this to force a form to close. I'm sure there is a method for that, right?
I am not sure how typical this is for others.
Personally, I would probably only use it for the case mentioned: the called form needs to return a value, and the called form is defined as modal to achieve this.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
