You say this has not always been the behavior. In other words, you used to not get the out of memory error. Have there been any changes made to the workstation
configuration or any other changes you can think of? By itself, it does not appear the form is the cause of you memory problems. I suspect it is somewhere else in your application. Perhaps it is with the process that involves the COM Port.

>In my app I need to pause the current process and display a message on an external (thru COM port) device. Since data is coming in from other ports on the computer that I monitor, I use a form class with a timer.
