Mon,

It's probably due to the ControlSource for the textboxes still being around.

>I am using three forms that I create like this:
> DO FORM 'form1.scx' NAME frm1 LINKED
>Form1 has an ID and password text boxes to access sys. admin screen. If the correct ID and password are entered, I release the three forms and start sysAdmin with this code:
> RELEASE frm1
> RELEASE frm2
> RELEASE frm3
> DO FORM Sys_admn
>When done with SysAdmin, I go back to form1:
> DO FORM 'form1.scx' NAME frm1 LINKED
> THISFORM.RELEASE()
>The strange thing is when I am back, the user's ID and password values in form1 are filled! I thought since I released the form, its properties and variables should also be released. When I do a watch on frm1, I can see it released, but the text box values are lingering between calls. Any idea why this is happening?
