I am lost on this multiple parameter passing thing! I can't believe I don't understand this. Do I - Do searchgrid with nrecno, memvar1 ?? I need to save the recordnumber that I found in the searchgrid and evaluate a field to pass back a parameter. I keep getting errors everywhere I turn. nrecno not found or when I first open the inquiry program it can't find the memvar1 variable because I haven't searched for it in the grid. Also once I grab the record, I close the searchgrid form so how can I assign the thisform.oCallingForm=.null. before I release the searchgrid form - won't this wipe out the variables? I have two books here in front of me and neither explain this at all!!
