Thanks, I am still unsure of the scope of things and it often gets me into trouble. I have made some new properties and it seems that I will be able to get the result I'm looking for. Thanks, very much!, for your help.

>Your parameters are memory variables in the Init event that will go out of scope when the init event ends. The best way to handle this is to create a form property for each parameter you'll need to access outside of your init. In the init assign each parameter to its corresponding property. Then from your command button events you'll be able to access the form properties using THISFORM.MyProperty.
