As a matter of fact, I tried just that. But no go. I've gotten it to work by using name referencing instead of object referencing, but it is a poor kludge; macro substitution is ugly. I'm still looking for the proper way to fix this :(.

>>I have a form with a custom textbox on it. This textbox creates a child textbox on init and stores an object reference to that child in it's "objref" property. So, objref is now of type 'O'. I can't release the form. Why? Is this because the child textbox is being destroyed first, but it has a reference in the parent textbox so it won't properly release? If so, what would be the proper way to get these two released?
