HI! me again..
THANKS for all the responses I am getting!!!!

Back to my problem.... I passed parameters to a form and using PARAMETERS to store them as variables (which is global I presume) but the problem I am having is that I can use these variables in the INIT method, where I have stored these values but anywhere else in the form these variables are not found. Can anyone let me know why is thsi happening and how can I fix this.
THANX!!!!
