>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.

Okay...I can give you a little more help now.

Your password form should be modal. Inside of data entry form:

do form passwordForm to passwordSuccess

In UNLOAD event of passwordForm, you put:

RETURN thisForm.returnValue

where returnValue is a property that you have added to the form.

HTH,
