How do I get the value of the connection handle from the form back into a variable in the program. I am saving the value of the connection handle in thisfrom.txtConnectionHandle.value.

Assuming you have an application that called the form and that it is an object, you can set a property on the calling application to store the connection handle.

Like this:
MyApp.nConnectHandle = MyForm.nConnectHandle

You can also do something like this:
_Screen.AddProperty( 'nHandle', SQLConnect( parameters... blah blah blah ... ))

In either case, the connection handle is available throughout the application regardless of what type of form was used to establish the connection.
