Brad;
I think that if you want to use cParam1 in the Activate, you have to first assign it to a property of the form in order to make it available. So you would create a property called cPassedtext and then in the init of the form

LPARAMETERS cParam1

thisform.cpassedtext = cParam1

and in the Activate you would put

Thisform.text1.value = thisform.cPassedtext
