>Hey Steve, Hilmar and Larry,
> I'm sorry you guys, I didn't explain that question better. Let start over again: I have a date entry form that calls another little form that checks for a password. If the password is valid I need to pass back to the calling form the value 1. If it is invalid, I need to pass back the value 0. Then the little password form releases. Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

This is something alittle different. Ex.

From Form1 method
do form form2 to MyVar
if MyVar = 0 then
   * do something
else
   * do something else
endif

Form2 must be modal. Store the validity of the password to a form-level property in Form2. In the Unload event of Form2, add the following:

return THIS.MyProperty

The Unload event is where you put code to return values.

HTH.
