Hi David,

I have a form class in a .vcx file. I have "return this.form_property_name" in the unload event.

I tried using "do form form_name to x1" as you show below, but it doesn't seem to work with forms in .vcx files.

I can start the form with:

oform1 = Createobject("form")
result = oform1.show()

However the value of result is .T., not the value I wanted returned.

I'm probably missing something simple. How do I get the returned value?

Thanks for your help.
