>I have a modeless form with buttons that launch other forms (also modeless). Each child form has a custom property that links it to the parent form.

This may not pertain to you, but I just spent half a day with almost the same problem. Only thing different is our's had been work for a long time. I was starting a new project and ran into this problem. Did every thing could thing of, but the destroy would not fire. As a last ditch effert, I copied everything off of form and pasted on a new form. Problem disappeared. I had to do that with 2.6 on report 2 or 3 times and thought, what the heck. Still have no idea what could have caused it. Everything looked ok in the scx. Cleaned up project and all that good stuff.
