use properties in your subform. in your init, say

thisform.subStartDate = dstartdt
thisform.subEndDate = denddt

they will then be available throughout this form.
if you save the form as a class and use createobject(), you won't need to pass by reference. you can get the values after you exit the form by looking at these properties before releasing the form object...
