Michael,

You have to store your return value to
a property, then access the property after
you are done with the form:

oForm = CREATEOBJECT("MyForm")
oForm.Show()

dDate = oForm.dReturnDate

RELEASE oForm


However, there are some gotcha's:

1. You cannot RELEASE the form, you must
HIDE it, then release it after you extract
the return value.

2. If the user closed the form via the "X",
the variable "oForm" will no longer hold a
reference to the form, so the above code needs
to have some validation:


oForm = CREATEOBJECT("MyForm")
oForm.Show()

IF TYPE("oForm") = "O" AND NOT ISNULL(oForm)
dDate = oForm.dReturnDate
RELEASE oForm
ENDIF

Hope this helps
