Didn't you start this thread? ;)

CREATEOBJECT allows more efficient use of RAM. You control what objects are loaded when you need them. I use CREATEOBJECT for login forms and forms that may have different looks depending on user input (actually, in that case I use Myform.AddObject [virtually same effect]).

There are probably other good uses, but I can't think of anything off the top of my head. The primary advantage of CREATEOBJECT is being able to create a local variable reference to your object in a method or procedure and it releases itself when the method/procedure is done.
