No, I am not issuing a CLEAR EVENTS because I do not want process to stop when a user hits the exit button on one form. The funny thing is that this is a base class that I have been using for a couple of years and never had problems with it before.

When I query the object references in the form manager they are .F. or NULL, but the form remains on the screen anyways.

Once I do issue a CLEAR EVENTS from the "Quit" menu option and the subsequent RELEASE ALL and CLEAR ALL are issued, the form disappears.

I'm not sure where to go to from here besides a complete redesign.

Thanks,
Dave
