>How to Hiding a modal form and get the return value to the calling form ?

The form needs to be in a vcx, not scx (maybe not, but easier this way). In the form's unload() or whichever code is called by the close button, set a property of the form, and instead of thisform.release() issue a thisform.hide(). The calling then looks like this:

loFrm=createobject("mymodalformclass")
loFrm.show()

?loFrm.myProperty
release loFrm

IOW, this way the form object reference doesn't go away when you close it - it's just hidden, but alive and accessible. The advantage over returning a value from form.unload() is that you can access multiple properties. In that case, though, you can return multiple values if you package them into properties of an object (a collection, perhaps) and return that object. The way I described here, you don't need to package anything.
