I am assuming that is becuase this leftover reference gets in the way. What code do I need to put where to eliminate the object variable when the form is closed?

This might be happening if you create an object as a property of the form or a property of a contained object on the form. Something like THISFORM.oWhatever = CREATEOBJECT("SomeClass") In this case, you should set THISFORM.oWhatever = NULL in the forms .Destroy() event.
