Hi Jane,

>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?

Are you still using the same variable names for both the parameter and return Value? You might try different ones. Also, are you sure your doing:

return thisform.myProp

In the unload of the form and not of a button or label (misclicks slow me down about ;-). Also, are you setting myProp in the unload from a control. You must remeber that by the time the form hits unload, all the controls have been destroyed.
