Seems like I asked a similar question about 6 years ago. Googled groups and found it.

So, the answer to my question is NO; the parameter references are only accessible in the Init method.

However, I can pass a reference to an object, store that reference in a form property. Update any properties of the object, and they will be available back in the calling form.

This works.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
