I don't think you'd want CLEAR EVENTS to execute an implicit return. Say, for example, you had a shutdown routine. The shutdown routine would be responsible for cleaning up everything. You wouldn't want code like:

CLEAR EVENTS
_screen.activeform.release()

(Simple example)

to execute an implicit return. And you'd definately want to CLEAR EVENTS before releasing the form, I would think.

>>>Jeff, this seems to be standard VFP functionality - you'll see the same thing if you call a non-modal form or show a container in the 'middle' of method-code - you won't see the form until the method-code is complete.
