How to: Return a Value from a Form

You can use forms throughout your application to allow users to specify a value.

To return a value from a form

1. Set the WindowType Property of the form to 1 to make the form modal.

2. In the code associated with the Unload event of the form, include a RETURN Command with the return value.

3. In the program or method that runs the form, include the TO keyword in the DO FORM Command.

   For example, if FindCustID is a modal form that returns a character value, the following line of code stores the return value to a variable named cCustID:

   DO FORM FindCustID TO cCustID
