In the form's onOpen event handler load HSC.wfm into memory and create an   instance of it ready for use whenever you need it.  By doing this in the   form's onOpen event handler it only gets done once.  It can be opened and   closed as many times as you like later.    function form_onOpen       set procedure to HSC.wfm       form.hsc = new hscform()  //use the actual classname in hsc.wfm       form.hsc.mdi = false  //needed as HSC.wfm will be opened modally       form.hsc.parent = this  //necessary if you want the HSC form to write   back to anything in the HC form.       return    function PBC_onClick       form.hsc.entryfield1.value = form.entryfield1.value //set initial   value in HSC form       form.hsc.readModal()       return. In HSC.wfm you could use it's onClose event handler to pass values back to   the parent hc.wfm.     function form_onClose        this.parent.whatever.value = this.whatever.value        return. Mervyn.
