Hi Naomi,
One last imposition on you if I may. The following code always throws an OLE error at the QUIT. Even if I don't call the form that pdfpicker can instantiate. Simply instantiating Viewer and closing the form as:

x=createobject('PDFViewer.Viewer')
x.loadfiles('123456')

and then closing the form throws the error. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Gary

DEFINE CLASS Viewer as Custom OLEPUBLIC
	
PROCEDURE LoadFiles
   LPARAMETERS tcMemberID as String, tcSourceDir as String
		
   LOCAL oForm
		
   SET SAFETY OFF
   _screen.Visible = .F.

   oForm = CREATEOBJECT('PDFPicker', tcMemberID, tcSourceDir)
   IF TYPE('oForm') = 'O'
      oForm.Show()
      READ EVENTS  && Works like a champ, PDFPicker stays visible
   ENDIF
		
   oForm = NULL
   RELEASE oForm
   *-- TYPE('oForm') = 'U'

   IF _vfp.StartMode > 0
      *-- The next line throws the OLE error:
      *-- "OLE iDispatch exception code 0 from ?: ?..."
      QUIT
   ELSE
      _screen.Visible = .T.
   ENDIF
ENDPROC

ENDDEFINE

>>The problem definitely is the object ref going out of scope. I was hoping SHOW() or SHOW(1) would stop it, but it doesn't. Setting a form level property works like a champ. Thanks.
