>Ok - something else came up on this. The main program (inquiry) calls the searchgrid program like this: do form c:\voterreg\searchgrid TO MyFoundRecno.
>When I find the record in my search, I need to evaluate a coded field and replace it with a word so the field is understood - so just a CASE statement. However, how do I set up a mem variable to store it to pass back to the calling form (inquiry). The original statement was DO...TO... I can't use two of those. How and where is it defined and then actually passed?

If you need to pass and return more than one variable then you may use the second way I talked about - pass the object reference:

DO searchgrid WITH thisform

Add another custom property oCallingForm to the SearchGrid form to store the object reference.

*SearchGrid.Init()
LPARAMETER toForm
thisform.oCallingForm = toForm

After you get your values just assign them to any property (which you may need to add to your Inquiry form) of oCallingForm, like:

thisform.oCallingForm.SomeProperty = myValue

Before you release SearchGrid form make sure that you assigned:

thisform.oCallingForm = .null.

When you return to your Inquiry form you will be able to use the values of those properties.

In this case you don't need to use DO FORM... TO... and return the value in .Unload() event

I also noticed that you use hardcoded path in your DO FORM... command. It is much more reliable to use just the form name, making sure that you form is in your application path.
