>Thanks for the response. Do you mean as long as an object gets no reference it will be released? If yes, then when the garbage will be collected?
The idea of a garbage collector is to postpone the destruction until some convenient time; this is supposed to be more efficient (faster). I never heard of "garbage collection" in the context of Visual FoxPro. I have the impression that objects are destroyed immediately as soon as they are not used.
