>>I think Mark is not here so I can answer. Yes Brad cString would be assigned the value you passed. But beware that parameter(s) are scoped to init method. You either save it in a form property or use just in init. ie: if you use it in something like :

set filter to myField = cString

You would face an error message. Instead use "name" clause of form I suggest.

do form myCaller name ("myForm") linked

Brad,
Possibilities I can think :
-lparameters (or parameters) is not the first line in init.
-Windowtype property is 2 or 3 (only FP 2.x converted could be) so parameter is passed to load event not init.

But in all I still insist using "name" clause in "do form" is better. You'll realize it's, when you try to return value(s) from a form or need to access another form.
