One thing in the above is a little confusing. When I call .Release() of a form object, the QueryUnload() is not fired. This is how I thought it always worked; that is, the QueryUnload() only fires when you close the form by clicking on the X in the upper right side of the window. Did you mean to say Unload instead of QueryUnload?
