Hi Kelly,

You can say in source form

      Statement 1:
      ------------
      DO FORM frmTarget With var1, var2, ..., varN

In the Init event of target form you can say

      Statement 2:
      ------------
      PARAMETERS myVar1, myVar2, ... 
            or 
      LPARAMETERS myVar1, myVar2, ...

However, you should pay attention to the fact the form's init event fires only after the load event. This means you will not have the value in the passed variable in load event.

You can put the Statement 1 in the source form's unload event if you do not want to keep the source form when target form is loaded. If you want to keep the source form also, then you do not need the statement 1 at all and in target form you can say

      myNewVariable = sourceform.myVar1

      where myVar1 is defined in Source form property sheet

Vijay
