>In my first form I have created a property called xyz. I set xyz = .F.. From my first form I call a second modal form with a lpara 123. When the second form is finished processing I set 123 = .T. and then release the form. My first form has been waiting for the second form to close before running the code If xyz = .T. Then Else EndIf. Why dosen't xyz pick up the change form the second form?

Steve,
Not understood honestly :)
Would something like this work :

thisform.xyz = .f.
do form myModalfrom name myModal
thisform.xyz = .t.
myModal.release()
*...

*Modalform calls
thisform.hide() && Where release is needed
