I run a data entry form which contains automobile information about a certain person's automobile and can call a lookup form (WindowType = modal) to find a repair shop record in a repair shop database. If I find a record, I release the lookup form and display the repair shop record in my automobile data entry form. No prob.

Here's where it gets messy and this is my question -
If I don't find a repair shop record, I ask if the user wants to create a new repair shop record? Y or N. If N, I return to the data entry form without changes.

If Y (user wants to create a new repair shop record) then I call a repair shop data entry form and the user creates a new repair shop record). But when I exit the repair shop data entry form, I want to return a value to the automobile data entry form like I do when I come from the repair shop lookup form.

So what I am trying to do is set the WindowType = 1 (modal) before the repair shop data entry form loads, but it doesn't seem to work in the Init of the form. But I have to have it after my Parameter statement because I passed a parameter telling the repair shop data entry form that I am adding a repair shop.

I release the repair shop lookup form if the users says Y they want to create a new repair shop record. But can I return a value to the automobile data entry form from the repair shop form because the automobile data entry form called the repair shop lookup for with the command DO FORM lookup.scx WITH nRetValue, but I have already released that form.

I am not sure how to handle this calling of a form followed by calling of another form, and releasing the second form, but returning a value to the original form from the last form.

Any way to do this so it makes sense? Thanks for helping.
