I mentioned in an earlier thread that the object reference problem was supposed to be fixed. This is what I have heard. But, today, when talking to a speaker, I obtained more information. Was is fixed in 5.0a is the object reference which are not at the form leve. So, if you make a reference to an object, this one should be cleared when closing the form. If an object reference is made at the form leve, it will not be cleared. I haven't tested it but it might give additional information to those who had this problem. Hope that help.
