Hi Mel,
Where is your explicit "RETURN lIsSuccess" statement? A method's default behavior is to return a .T. value unless you specify other wise. So, shouldn't it be as follows instead?

PostNow() Method
LOCAL lIsSuccess
m.lIsSuccess = THISFORM.upDateEFA()
IF m.lIsSuccess = .T.
	WAIT WINDOW "lIsSuccess  was .T."
ELSE
        * The return should be this - but it's not!	
        WAIT WINDOW "lIsSuccess  was .F."
ENDIF

RETURN lIsSuccess


upDateEFA()Method
RETURN .F.
