>Here is conceptually what the form does. When the form is opened it processes some data received from an outside source; one record at a time. When all "new" data has been processed, the user gets the message "No More Data to Process" and when he/she clicks on Ok button, the form is released. Therefore, there is a need to release the form after the messagebox. So why is it "so brutal"?

Try adding this in the click event method code to release:

RELEASE thisform
