The way I do this is:

1) Make the form MODAL.
2) Create a property in the form to hold the return value (cRetVal)
3) In the OK or Close button of the form, put the return value into the property, then Hide (not Release) the form.
4) Use this code to launch the form and get the value:

loForm = createobject("_myform")
loForm.Show()
myRetValVariable = loForm.cRetVal
loForm.Release()

Now myRetValVariable has your return value.
