I have noticed this error when I have created another object over the COM layer and I do not explicity release it. While it should clean up on it's own when it's owner (VFP) goes out of scope, instead it causes this error.

Example

oObj=CREATEOBJECT("myobject.myobject")
QUIT

Causes error.

oObj=CREATEOBJECT("myobject.myobject")
RELEASE oObj
QUIT

Doesn't cause error.

This is on Windows NT Service Pack 3.

Perhaps you are either creating a COM object ro using an ActiveX control that doesn't get cleaned up properly. Try RELEASE ALL before shutting down VFP and see if the problem goes away.
