Robert,

Well first off what part of modal don't you understand? *bg* Modal means that the form will not return to the line of code after the DO FORM command until the modal form is closed.

Second, you have to iterate the _screen.Forms collection and check a property like Name to find the form.

What are you really tying to accomplish here? If you want to initialize some fields you could pass the initialization values into form1's Init(). You could also put the values into a cursor or parameter object and let the controls be bound to the fields/properties.
