If the form is modal, you can do it in Unload method. Put return thisform.myVal there. You need to call your form with

do form myForm to myVal

syntax. If your form is not modal, there is a trick:

In the calling program: (just an idea):

loForm=newobject('myFormClass','myLib.vcx')
ReturnVal = loForm.myVal
loForm.release()
release loForm

In the form Cancel button you will have thisform.hide() instead of thisform.release() You also need to add Form's property for your return value.
