>Hi,
> I would like to know the 'cleanest' method for preventing an update when I launch another form from one form. The second form is modal and is a picklist which returns its value back to the calling form. I don't want the values in the original form to update before the value is returned from the picklist. Thanks in advance.

Chris, in general if you don't update current record yourself before launching the modal form and don't move the record pointer in that area (if it's row buffering) nothing bad should happen.
