Hi Fred. Yes, agreed, that's my theoretical goal. But how do I remotely do such a Return into a Load event from an app-object method, a top-level method, or a PRG, for example? I tried putting a Return into these, but to no surprise, vfp thinks it's referring to the current procedure, not some other form's Load. Also, I'm talking about over 100 forms in various apps, so I really want to avoid specififc code in Loads. I want a remote, generic solution. Am I stuck?
