Hi Keven,

Have you tried something like this:

Have form2 return a value to form1 using the form1.unload event.

If form2 returns a specific value when you release it, release form1 also

Do Form1 to lcForm2ReturnVal
If lcForm2ReturnVal = "RELEASE"
ThisForm.Release() && or ThisForm.cmdCancel.Click() if that works better
EndIf

This is quite a simple approach so I don't know if that is what you were looking for but it's what I came up with.

Aloha,

James
