How to: Return a Value from a Form

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

Set the WindowType Property of the form to 1 to make the form modal.
In the code associated with the Unload event of the form, include a RETURN Command with the return value.
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
```

For more information, see RETURN Command and DO FORM Command.

Note

If you get an error, make sure the WindowType is set to 1 (Modal).
