Trey,
Thanks for the answer. I was using this case as an example. The IsOkay() method is being bound to many different controls on the form. Any thoughts? I don't really want to write and maintain a check like the one you described in several places. Thanks again,

>>Hello,
>>Lets say I have a piece of code that returns .T. or .F. depending on if it is okay to close a form or not. Now, the exit button on the form just calls the forms release method. So, I bind the click of the button to the IsOkToExit method on the form. The method, in this case, returns .F., how to I halt the execution of the button's code? Thanks,
