Could that be the public variable calls? If so, how do I clear them?



>Dimmed close box indicates that you did not clear some object reference you created somewhere within the form. It's usually some form/control custom property holding reference to another object. If you have such properties you must clean them in Form.Destroy event:
>***Form.Destory
>This.Myproperty=.NULL.

>>And that is basically it. What I have assumed.... the FORM.LOAD has created the public array to be used throughout. The CONTAINER.INIT assigns each checkbox (via the Name) to an array item for ease of use.

>>P.S. When I originally wanted to ARRAY the controls, Jim Booth helped with the CONTAINER and the INIT. He recommended creating a FORM property named BOX(1) but I received an error when I attempted that... this is why I used the ARRAY function as a public set of variables.

VFP is getting easier but STILL alot to learn!!
