Hi Dmitry,

Yes, this is - say - by design

I see two possibilities - There may be better ways - I do not see any at this moment

(1) You can try "return to master" - I have not tested this

= m.thisform.Release()
return to master

(2) The calling hierarchy has to be made aware that the form is being released



You can add code to your form's baseclass.Release()

- add a propertery to the base class: Releasing

&& baseclass.Release()
this.Releasing = .t.
return DoDefault()

But each calling method would have to test

say
- func1
     - func2
         func3

= m.this.func1()
 if( m.this.Releasing )
         return

** func1
= m.this.func2()
if( m.this.Releasing )
   return

&& func2
= m.this.func3)
if( m.this.Releasing )
   return


&& func3

if( ... )
   =m.this.Release()
   return
