Hi, I'm using the Axis Gui and the quick reference indicates that the Ctrl-Home command should return the active axis back to home but what I get is a message about wanting to re-home that axis. What is the command the return the active axis back to the set home position? Thank you,

There isn't one. But an mdi command to move an axis back to it's origin would be G0 G53 X0 (for the X-axis)
To do XYZ would be g0g53x0y0z0.

If you really want a button on screen to press, you could add one in a pyvcp or gladevcp. Then use that button to trigger a HaluiMDI command.
I have made such additions to several of our machines. On these I made short sub program that is called by the haluimdi command. It sends the Z to its home, then the X and Y, and then turns off the spindle and resets any other important modal G-codes to the state I want them in for starting a new file.
