>I have SQL in the LOAD, but I need it to use the parameter sent to the form's INIT, but it is not available there. I could move the SQL to the INIT, but isn't that the point of the LOAD event?

Well, yes and no. Load is for stuff you want to do before creating controls, but if you need a parameter, you have to do it in Init, so you'll have to set up the relevant controls later.
