You can use DO FORM form TO RetVar. In the .Unload of your form. RETURN RetVar

It may not necessarily be a better way, but this is how I go about these things.
I create a custom object in whose .Init I include .AddObject("oForm", "FormDef")
The custom object can have any number of methods created to manipulate the form and you can set any number of properties to act as return values. It always has this one method .ShowForm which contains; THIS.oForm.Show()

Within the form, various actions can set the properties of the custom object.
THISFORM.Parent.SomeProperty = ?? The point here is that you can set any number of properties within the custom object for use elsewhere.
