You probably want the view to look for a form property, ie, Form.MyVal and not a variable. In the Init of the Form:

PARAMETERS vMyVal
THIS.MyVal=vMyVal
=REQUERY("MyView")
THIS.Refresh()

Now, set NoDataOnLoad to .T. for the view in the DE or else you're gonna be asked for the value of Form.MyVal at DO FORM because the DE exists before the form does so the value is unknown. This is why you need the REQUERY in the init after you have set the property value and the THIS.Refresh() is to make sure any bound controls on the form bound to the view show the correct stuff.

Got it?
