Barbara-

In your response (which I understand to a point), you said to make a property on the new form to hold the value -- would the property be "ValueIWantToReturn"?

If so, that would make "ValueINeed" a property on the calling form.

To refer to the property on the calling form from the "called" form, you would then need the indirection "thisform.oCallingForm.ValueINeed".

But where and how does the "oCallingForm" property get created?

This had me confused from day one of these kinds of discussions and I finally worked up the guts to say I don't get it!
