>I need to know how to have VFP release an APP after a modeless form is released. As it is now, the APP runs the main.prg and opens the form, modeless. The program runs out and the form remains on the screen. When the form is closed, VFP holds onto the reference until a CLEAR ALL and/or RELEASE ALL is issued from the command window or VFP is closed. This is really only an issue when we have to updated the APP and I have to tell everyone using it to quit VFP so I can put out an updated APP.

Why you're not using Launcher mechanism to provide updates?
