Do you have any user defined properties on the form in which you store the object reference of another object? Or have you defined global variables any in the form in which you store an object reference. You must make sure you release (via setting them to .NULL. or .F.) all these object references or your form will never really be destroyed.

For example, if in one of the methods you have code like this....

Thisform.oControl = Thisform.activecontrol


You must make sure to do this....

Thisform.oControl = .NULL.
..or..
Thisform.oControl = .F.

before the form will be destroyed.

Hope this helps
