>>PMFJI, but what you get is exactly what you're supposed to get. Returning .F. in the Init method prevents the form from beeing instanciated, so it's perfectly normal that the Unload event isn't fired - there is nothing to unload.

Paul,
Unload event fires but form is not initialized. So you get no return value. There is a clumsy workaround :

local myVal && To demonstrate it doesn't matter if it's local
do form myValGetter with .f., myVal to myVal && With always passes by reference
? "Myval is now", myVal
do form myValGetter with .t., myVal to myVal

* Form.init
lparameters tlInit, tnRetVal
tnRetVal = 100
thisform.RetVal = tnRetVal * 3
return tlInit

* Form.unload
return thisform.RetVal
