I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark here as I typically work with top-level forms and put a menu on them. I do believe that when this is done, or if you add a toolbar, the top-level form resizes to fit the desktop and still accomodate the menu or toolbar. This is what is firing the .Resize event. The form is probably trying to resize again when you release the menu. I use the top-level form as a desktop only letting it support the menu and toolbar. I don't put controls on it except for a textbox to create a dummy wait state. You may need to put a flag on the form indicating that you are trying to close and issue NODEFAULT in the resize event.
