First, the called form must be modal.
Second, don't Release() it like usual, but Hide() it; then you can access the form's return value property, e.g.

** in the modal form, I assume you'll have an OK button (or similar)
** in the modalform.cmdOK.Click()
** set the custom property uRetval
thisform.uRetVal = "Hello world."
thisform.Hide() && this is the key to it.


** to call the modal form
loForm = CREATEOBJECT("mymodalformclass")
loForm.Show()
** this code continues after above form's Hide() is performed
luRetVal = loForm.uRetVal
