(Also a bit of work, but it's not that bad once you understand how to do it ...) If you have, say, a pushbutton on the first form that opens the second:      function MyButton_onClick         set procedure to second_form.wfm         oSecond = new second_formform() // classname in the .wfm file         oSecond.MyCustomProperty = some_value // for example,           // form.entryfield11.value -- or whatever you need         // open or readModal:         oSecond.open()      return In the second form, in say, an overridden open method:      function form_open         if type( this.MyCustomProperty ) # "U" // not undefined            // assign value to a text control for display ...            form.MyText1.text = this.MyCustomProperty         endif      return This is just a simple example, untested, but based on things I have done MANY MANY times.
