Hi all,

My app is calling the FoxFire report engine where it sets up a large number of vars as PRIVATE on the way into it's main program (configuration vars). When the user exits the FoxFire program and returns to mine, if they exit their app fairly soon after, they get a crash with a C5 error. I can reproduce this. When I look in the debugger, most times there seems to be a vestigal ("ghost") vars of all their vars left over.

I say they are "ghost" vars in that you can see the name in the debugger but you cannot query the value of it e.g. in the locals window, this is an example of a var:

pg_sysobj value = (none)

and in the "Watch" window, it shows as "expression could not be evaluated".

so I wondered what that was "variable"?

It was not null because

ISNULL(pg_sysobj) came back as "expression could not be evaluated".

It is possible that VFP has not fully "cleared" these memvars from memory since there are so many of them? This seems to be what causes the crash because if I wait long enough, I don't always get a crash
