To follow up on this, I ended up setting the object's .Visible property to .F.; to get rid of it, I put a timer on the toolbar that loops through the .Objects and if it finds any that are .Visible = .F., it does an .RemoveObject() against it

So that the timer is not firing all the time, I enable it at the time I set the control.Visible to .F., the timer then fires a fraction of a second later, and after its iteration through the object collection, it turns itself off. Not that much work and I always know that what is in the collection is up to date.

Thanks,
Albert
