I have found a very useful method is to use a custom 'parameter' object for passing array information.

I don't have my code but I believe the class is defined as such:

DEFINE CLASS formparms AS custom


Name = "formparms"
DIMENSION acdata[1,1]


PROCEDURE Init
LPARAMETER tnsize

DIMENSION this.acdata[tnsize]
ENDPROC


ENDDEFINE

When I do a createobject for this class, I pass in the size of the array I want.

So your code would be changed to this:

ox = Createobject("formparms", 5)
ox.acdata[1] = 200 && Height
ox.acdata[2] = 260 && Width
ox.acdata[3] = 290 && Left
ox.acdata[4] = 70 && Top
ox.acdata[5] = ThisForm.txtPick.Value
do form UserChild with ox

The reason I do this is because in a lot of cases I want some return values from the modal form. I use it for forms that ask for date ranges etc. or other parameters before printing a report.

This method is very quick, easy and flexible and avoids some of the issues of passing arrays to functions. As well it is more 'Object Oriented'!
