THISFORM only works from within a class. Menu's aren't classes, so this doesn't work. What you need is some other reference to the form. Maybe _Vfp.ActiveForm will work. In this case you can simply do a

_VFP.ActiveForm.Release()

This really depends on how you instantiate your form. Let's say you instantiate it like so:

DO FORM MyForm NAME oMainForm

You can now release the form from the menu like so:

oMainForm.Release()
