What I have is custom 'parameter' class that I use to pass parameters. The class has one property which is an array. I create an instance of this object just before calling a form and I pass this object as the only parameter required to the form. With an array, the object can store any number of parameters. My forms have an oparm property which is either NULL or a reference to a parameter object. These values are accessable in the form and preserved after the form is destroyed. After returning from the form I do what I need to with the values and release the parameter object.

There is an 'idea' out there that says you should not pass more than one or two parameters to any object/method etc. Pass an object reference instead. I tend to agree though I do have methods that are quite willing to accept 10 or more parameters!
