No, they ALWAYS go to the INIT. If you need this information for a View, use the NoDataOnLOad property and requery() the view after receiving the parameter.

You can also have a 'AfterInit' property which is set FALSE during design and changed to TRUE at the end of the INIT method. Any code you DON'T want processed before you get your parameters can be surrounded by

IF thisform.AfterInit
   ***  code to process with INIT parameter
ENDIF

Then you can call this code a second time if necessary after the INIT .
