Is it once inside the PROJECT it fails to center, or once run from the DESTROY METHOD? Perhaps you can do an if/then from the calling program, likely a menu option

DO FORM Password TO mGo
IF mGo
DO FORM Myform
ENDIF

Put a RETURN .F. command into the Unload event of the form Password if the password is incorrect--this will pass the False to mGo. This way, you can also reuse the form for security in other forms. Frankly, it seems to me that your autocenter thing should still work if fired from the destroy event, but it's not really solid coding, so perhaps you should try it the above way before troubleshooting your code.
