Here is how I do it (hope it helps):

In the app's main program (the parameters are here only because I call the app passing parameters it too that then get passed to the form):

*--Main.prg  (App's main program)
PARAMETERS llautorun, llforcedbf, llforceindex, llforcepack, llpolcall, lcdefaultpath
IF PARAMETERS()=0	&& run separately outside any other app
	STORE .F. TO llautorun, llforcedbf, llforceindex, llforcepack, llpolcall
ELSE				&& called from within Policy Profiler
	STORE .T. TO llpolcall	
ENDIF
*--Do form passing the following params
DO FORM Rebuildall LINKED WITH llautorun, llforcedbf, llforceindex, llforcepack, llresult, llpolcall
*--Check for returning result from form
IF llresult
        *--My code here
ENDIF

Then in the form's init method:

*--Rebuildall.init()
PARAMETERS llautorun, llforcedbf, llforceindex, llforcepack, llresult, llpolcall
THISFORM.llautorun=llautorun
THISFORM.llforcedbf=llforcedbf
THISFORM.llforceindex=llforceindex
THISFORM.llforcepack=llforcepack
THISFORM.llresult=llresult
THISFORM.lcdefaultpath=sys(2003)

Then in the form's release method:

*rebuildall.release()
llresult=thisform.llresult
DODEFAULT()
CLEAR EVENTS

Then in the form's unload method:

*Rebuildall.unload()
RETURN llresult
