Hey Cathi! How's everything?

I actually have my own version of cFindForm. It's actually a subclass of cFindForm that is modal and instead of acting on oCallingForm, it simply returns the IID value of the record selected by the user.

I needed a findform that I could call pretty much from anywhere and it would ONLY return a value. If I went with the original cFindForm there was a lot of tight coupling involved and it was easier to just modify the form to do what I wanted.

But even in the original form, view parameters are created on the fly in the click() method of the FindNow button.

This got me into problems yesterday because I added some more functionality to the class which allows the user to take a quick detail view/edit at the record selected before actually selecting it and if he changed something or if he deleted the record I needed the bizobj to requery.

If you would like a copy of my new class, let me know...
