You need to pass the object reference of THISFORM from the first form to the second.

THISFORM.HIDE()
Do FORM2 WITH THISFORM

*Set the parameter THISFORM in the init section of the form2 to a property say oCalledFrom

* Then in the click method of the close button
THISFORM.oCalledFrom.Show()
THISFORM.RELEASE()
