Doug Hennig talked about this at GLGDW this year. IIRC he said he was getting a lot of seemingly random C5 errors and, as much in desperation as anything else, went through all his code removing every instance of a RETURN inside a WITH/ENDWITH block.... and the C5 errors went away.

I don't know.

I suspect any references will get cleared when the variable gets out of scope, so there should be no problems. Any opinions?

I do it all the time with no problems i'm aware of.

I would imagine Doug was talking about VFP9 SP1
