What is it being returned to? If it's a modal form, you can pass back a value therough the Form's Unload method if invoked via DO FORM TO MyVar

You can create a form property and have the cancel button update the property value, which other things can check or return as they like.

A RETURN statement in the method can return a single value to a method invocation (you can pass an object ref this way, but don't make it a form property that you pass back via Unload or you'll have a dangling object reference) and will return a logical .T. if nothing is specified otherwise. The following is sick and stupid, but it shows how you can pass back things of different types to a method invocation:

* IN the form, a sneaky little method hides...
PROCEDURE RandomMethod
LOCAL uResult
uResult = NULL
DO CASE
CASE VARTYPE(ThisForm.cmdCancel) = 'O'
   uResult = thisform.cmdCancel && object ref
CASE DAY(DATE()) = 2 * INT(DAY(DATE())/2)
   uResult = "I'm even"  && string based on a number
CASE thisform.BackColor = RGB(0,0,255)
   uResult = "I'm blue behind all this"  && random
CASE thisform.ForeColor = RGB(0,0,0)
   *  uResult will be null if it gets here and the forecolor is BLACK
OTHERWISE
   uResult = Thisform.BackColor/ForeColor  && now you know why I check for 0
ENDCASE
RETURN uResult

* Somewhere else in the form lies this code...
MyVar = thisform.RandomMethod()
*  MyVar now has the return in it.
