Or... if there's a top level form which should behave like modal (i.e. pass values to other places when closed), then the code responsible for the modal behavior (passing them pesky values) should be in the form, not in the caller.

So, Gary, move the code which was supposed to run when the form exits somewhere into that form's .unload() or (better) into some custom method which will be called when user clicks OK.
