Hi Erik ...

Dead on with the problem. The workaround is:

1) Create a custom form property nCustID for the findcust form.
2) In the Unload event of findcust put:
THISFORM.nCustID = {whatever logic applies}
RETURN THISFORM.nCustID
3) Replace the code with....

LOCAL m_nCustID,m_sCustName
DO FORM findcust WITH THISFORM.txtCustomer.Value TO m_nCustID
*** Code here to find matching SCustName in whatever table is applicable
THISFORM.txtCustomer.Value=m_sCustName
