>>I have a form class that does most of my seek, look, add and edit work. I am calling a form based on it but with a parameter of ADD to only add one record. I set a flag in the init and then after the use has saved or canceled I check the flag do thisform.release(). The release() is getting hit but it does nothing. The code continues to run as though it was not there. Is this because I am trying to exit in the middle of a method?

Thanks to all who replied.
Here is the solution. I found that the command ThisForm.Release() will only work if it is the last line in a method or series of method calls - in most places. By the way. I don't think I said that I am using model forms only.
