>Nulling the reference variable and calling the Release are functionally equivalent. However, if you have more than one variable referencing the form and you don't NULL them all the form will not close. More importantly if some code that is NOT in the form itself is nulling the reference than there is no way for the form to prepare before it is released. By following a practice of ALWAYS releasing a form by calling it's Release method you now have a consistent place, in the form itself, that the form can deal with preparing to close.
Thank you for the explanation.
