Good Luck! Do post your solution when you've got it.

>>This seems to happen in VALIDs. The RemoveObject is called, but not until all the VALID code is executed, that the RemoveObject (from FORM) fires. It's like the VALID logged a message with the main VFP event handler to RO, then the VALID code finishes furst, then only the message is handled in the FORM's event loop.

Which would mean in this case that while the alternate thread is removing the object, the primary thread attempts to add it, which causes an error because the object still exists at that instant.
