Hi Rodd,
Looks like Fabio already suggested it, but just to clarify:
If you define some variables as private in the calling form/program, they would be visible in form's Load method and could be used. I used this technique a lot in my applications, though I agree with Mark, it's not a proper way of doing it.
>We have an old framework that we code around. All the tables used in a program are stored in a database. Therefore, we call a routine passing to it the name of the program that is running and it opens all of the necessary tables for that program.

>I'm now trying to incorporate this into a form. However, the name of the program is passed to the form. From what I understand, parms passed to forms are accessed in the Init method which fires AFTER the Load method. The Load method is where i need to open the tables (so that I can tie grids to tables, etc).

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
