Chris, thanks. This works great, as long as the modal state is "turned off" by using thisform.Hide() and then release the form later - after getting the return value from the form.

Thanks!

>>I need to return a value from a form object. The form is a class in Library and is instantiated via CreateObject or NewObject. I use the Show(1) method to activate the form and make it modal. Is there a way to return a value from the form when it is released? Or, MUST the form be an .SCX and instantiated via DO FORM ... TO ... ?
