If the child form is a modal form, then you can do the following:

When launching the child form, you could use:

DO FormName WITH param1,param2,...paramn TO xRetVal

where the variable xRetVal will be assigned the value returned by child form.

If you don't need to pass parameters to child form, you can omit the WITH and the parameter list.

If you do pass parameters to the child form, make sure you have a PARAMETERS statement at the first line of the INIT() of the child form.

in the Unload of the child form

RETURN (somevalue)

where (somevalue) is the value you want to return to parent form.
