Thanks for the help. It still isn't working right. Yes, the called form is modal. In the Unload I RETURN the value. The form now is closing but the calling form is not appearing. It is minimized & has to be re-opened (not acceptable). Also, the value isn't getting passed back. I have an OK button on the called form. In the click of OK I have a RETURN thisform.myProperty and a THISFORM.RELEASE if the password is correct. I also put a MESSAGEBOX there so I would know the password is correct. The message appears but when it checks in the main program the message is that the password is incorrect. What have I done wrong?

>>Thanks for the help. This part seems to be working sortof o.k. But I can't seem to get back from the password form to the calling form. I have 2 buttons on my password form - ok and cancel. I have a return in the click of each button. That doesn't return. Also, I thought the first form would still be visible & the password form would appear on top of it. That didn't happen. Can you help?
