How to RETURN from a Form?

[academica]

Hello again,

I have a main form (Form 1), displaying a text file. A menu command calls a procedure in an external file, which processes the text file. Sometimes the procedure displays Form 2 to accept user input (DO Form2 WITH Params), appends a record and is RELEASEd (THISFORM.Release). No value is returned.

Debugger CallStack Window shows
Form2
actRead (Menu invoked procedure)
ON SELECTION BAR
main.prg

What should I do so that execution of the calling procedure (actRead)continues from the next line, which called Form 2? (Now the RELEASE command in Form 2 returns execution to READ EVENTS in Form 1.)

What if a button on Form 2 calls Form 3? After releasing them both, execution should continue from the calling procedure. How can I achieve this functionality?

Where can I read more on this topic?

Make the form that will return the value modal, and return the value in the unload of the form.

Thanks, Mike. It works.
I am really ashamed when I see how stupid questions I ask. Anyway, this forum is a treasure, at least for me.

Thanks again.

You question is not a stupid one, I would tend to blame the help file which is sometimes either lacking in content, or is just hard to comprenhend, or just none existent.
