I have a similar problem. Is there any easy way of seeing WHERE there is a reference to one of the contained obejcts of the form that isn't being released?

Thanks,

>As the other said, just always thisform.Release() and you should be ok. If when you click the X button on the title bar it disables and the form hangs around, that is because something somewhere is holding a reference to one of the contained obejcts of the form.
