I knew I should have tested this before posting. Sorry, that won't work. Use a property. PRIVATE variables are only visable to lower routines called from Init, not the whole form.

You could, however (and I'm not saying it's a great coding practice), make the variable PRIVATE in the calling routine, put the value there, and use it in the new form.

For example, in the click method of a button you could:

PRIVATE pcVariable

pcVariable="Hey, I can see this!"
DoForm("MyForm")

Now "MyForm" can see the "pcVariable" variable.
