>>This should be simple. I've tracked it down to the WindowType property. I have a form (created through AddObject) that, when Modeless, can be closed using the close button on the title bar in the upper right hand corner of the form. When the form is Modal, I click on the close button and it just turns grey and the screen is still displayed and active.

You both mention outstanding references and I'm not sure what you mean. More detail:

In my menu, under the reindex option I call oApp.ShowReindex(). This is the code in my application class for the ShowReindex method:

this.addobject('oReindex', 'frmReindex')

with this.oReindex
.setall('fontname', this.FontName)
.setall('fontsize', this.FontSize)
.show()
endwith

return

There are currently no "thisform.release" statements in the form that comes up. I just want the form to be modal and be able to click on the close button and have the form release.

Are you both telling me the oReindex reference is casing my form to remain displayed?

TIA
