The form consists of a grid and a command button ("Return").

Form.load contains the data selection for the grid (a list of review criteria, text only).

Form.WindowType = 0 - Modeless

cmdReturn.click = thisform.release()

This form is called from another form by clicking a 'View Criteria' button.

This form comes up on top of the calling form (expected), but you cannot get back to the calling form without closing this form (unexpected)
