Hi Alan,

To what is lnFormValue scoped? When you use the toolbar to close the form is the next line of code executed the same as when you use the form button?

I have traced execution from when the toolbar button is pressed and form.unload definitely executes 'RETURN lnReturnValue' as its last line. lnReturnValue holds a numeric value, but .F. is returned to lnFormValue above!
