In many ways, I do think it's stable. However, I did note that lock ups during a build went from pretty rare to ... what should I say? ... frequent enough to be irritating. I don't believe these are dangling references because 1) I don't create a lot of "external references" to an object and 2) my error code generally does a good job of cleaning up. Plus, this was not really an issue under VFP 8, but did become one under VFP 9 (yet, I'd made no changes in the way I work). One response in this thread did indicate that this could be in relation to a known issue.

I don't lock up the IDE. Not that I can think of, that is. I do QUIT sometimes during development because my error handling code did not handle something as it should have and didn't clean up properly. But the IDE isn't locked, it's just easiest to quit and restart rather than issuing a bunch of commands to clean up (yes, some people have a little program to do this, but I've just done it the lazy man's way - quit and restart).

Since I know what I did to cause it I have never worried about it since those dangling object references do not exist in my final version.
