Kevin,

We don't pass a parameter into our VFP apps, we interrogate the contact record from the VFP application.

ddesetoption("SAFETY", .F.)	
lnChannel = ddeinitiate("GOLDMINE", "DATA")

lcPrimaryKey = alltrim(DDERequest(lnChannel, "Contact1->AccountNo"))

Putting data back into Goldmine is a little more convoluted.
