Hi Mike,
Thanks.
We don't have problems - I got 4. O.K. I'll modify this form to do what I want it to do. A few questions. I want to add a textbox for the user to type in a password. It's just 1 password that works for everyone. SO I want to hardcode the password into the form. How do I get the form to end after the user types in the correct password? If it's incorrect, I have a message and they keep trying until it's correct of they click on cancel. Do I put code to check for the password in the click or the valid of the textbox? When that textbox loses focus, I want the form to unload. I appreciate your help. I'm a novice who may never get past this stage.

lparam tnNum
>this.eValue=tnNum

5. Now in the unload add:

return this.eValue/2

6. Now save your form and from the command window type:

do form passback with 8 to nVal
>?nVal

If you don't get 4 we have problems.
