>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.

You'll have to create a form property for each parameter you are passing. This will allow the values to be used in any procedure on the form. Properties are created from the menu item Form -> New Property and are refrenced by using thisform.properyname
