>>Say a Form A calls a Form B and passes to the form B the value of itself (THISFORM). In the INIT method of Form B the value of the passed THISFORM (or Form A) is assigned to the form property FormB_ReferenceFormA. So now the Form B property FormB_ReferenceFormA hold the value referencing the form A.

When there is a dependency like this it is important to ensure that the "go away" code in FormA takes care of destroying FormB if it exists. That way FormA cleans up its own mess on trying to go away and no other code that wants FormA to go away needs to know anything about FormA's dependency on FormB.

Thank you for the explanation. My code does pretty much what you have described above. As I mentioned to Gregory, I had another (which turn out to be unrelated) issue but I confused it with not cleaning up correctly this mess (good choice of words on your part <g>).
