Hi Michel.
When I use a tool bar, I create it as required in the main app using a property of main app to store the reference as this.oformbar=CreateObject(mytoolbar). I can then refer to buttons on the formbar from anywhere as MainApp.ofrombar.abutton.click for example. When I no longer need the formbar I set it to NULL (this.oformbar=.NULL.) and that gets rid of it. You might want to try something similar. HTH

Glad you found the problem with your BMP's
