I'm pretty sure that you can't hide a modal form without killing it. If you want to return values from the modal form, work the other way around. Make your modal form write the values to the calling form by passing the form object in parameter.

oForm = CreateObject("MyForm", THISFORM)

MyForm.Init()
LPARAMETERS oForm
THIS.oForm = oForm

MyForm.Unload()
THIS.oForm.Property1 = SomeValue

>I have a form class (modal). I used the following commands. On a commandbutton's click method, I just hide the form.
>oform= createobject('myform')
>oform.show
>oform.release
