PEMSTATUS works fine if used carefully. The problems come in when PEMSTATUS is used multiple times in the same line checking hte same object. When this is done, it seems that PEMSTATUS fails to release an internal reference to the object being checked, and this can make a form hang.

GPFs, I have never run into.
