tcOfficeID is the PARAMETER you're passing in to the form. Forms accept PARAMETERs in the INIT method. You simply need to call your form with "DO FORM WITH ".
tcOfficeID will be available as a memvar during the processing of the INIT method, but remember: unless you then store that PARAMETER to a property on the form, tcOfficeID will disappear when INIT finishes processing.
