Try this:

Create a property in the calling form to hold a return value. Pass the calling form name as a parm to the called form. Then assign it to a form property (create one if you must).

lcX = thisform.CallingForm + '.RetVal = ' + thisform.listbox.value

&lcX

Now you have returned the value to the calling form. One benifet is your called form does not have to be Modal.
