>>1) Change the LPARAMETER to a PARAMETER. The LPARA... are local variable where the PARA... are Private variable. The .Show method should then be able to see them. You could then set the form's properties from them. This relates the setting of the properties up to the various forms being opened.

Then before the .Show in the DoForm read the collection passed; drawing the property name from the Key and setting the Form object property the value in the Value part of the collection. This method differs from the first in that the calling section to DoForm controls which properties are set and what they are set to.

I hope it helps.
