>>In my called form, I want the user to type in a password. If the password is correct, I'd like the form to be closed. I tried to do this by putting code in the click method of the text box (RETURN THISFORM.value and THISFORM.RELEASE())but it doesn't do anything. I then added an OK command button with the same code. The form does close but the value is not passed back. Please help.
