Margaret,

The parameter itself is only visible in the init() method of the form. If you need it to persist longer than that, you can save it to a custom property of the form (if you don't know how to add a property to a form, just ask).

For example, let's say you want to pass a customer name to a form:

* init() method of form
lparameters lcCustomerName

this.customerName = lcCustomerName

Now, from anywhere inside of the form, you can see thisform.customerName.

HTH.

>I do have the sample code working and I now have forms working that are being run by the manager. What I am asking is once I am inside a form that is being managed by the xFrmMgr class, and which is has xFrmStdManaged as a parent class, how do I use the parameters that the class passed in when it created the form. Say I pass in a parameter that is a badge number and now I want to show it on the screen in a text box, how do I access that parameter? when can I access the parameter, does it have to be after the init?
