>>>I have an ole public vfp form that I compiled into an exe. it contains an activex control. I also have an ole public vfp container class compiled into an exe. I "globalvar=createobject()" both of these, but I can't get the form exe to release out of memory (shows up in task manager) when the error method in the container does a return to master. The container releases just fine, but the form does not. Any suggestions, I am very new to the OLE world and could use some help!

Ahhh, ok. Interesting experiment, I didn't know it would let you compile and instanciate this. I have to admit, I don't know what the problem is, but I am confident that it has something to do with your pushing the boundaries of what VFP is supposed to handle with COM.

I think that you tricked VFP into allowing you to comppile this form, and I'll bet that got you around a safeguard that was supposed to prevent you from getting into this situation.

Sorry I couldn't be of any help.
