Usually hti sis done using DO FORM ... TO but you can accomplish the same thing by creating a private variable (must be private not local so it will be availble in the form) and setting that variable in the Unload event of the form.

BTW, make sure the form class is modal or use the loform.Show(1) syntax to make it modal. Otherwise, your program will continue execution and you might get erros because you haven't received a return value.
