Hi Edward,

I found this thread because I was searching on how to release a form from within another form. Neither forms were part of a class. I found the code below and and used it and it worked great. I just don't know WHY???

My code looks like this:

For Each oForm In _SCREEN.Forms
IF oForm.Name=="startup"
oForm.release()
Endif
Endfor

I don't see how when I say oform.release, that vfp knows which form I'm wanting to release.??? Or maybe it's coming to me now. Does oForm hold a reference or something to my form, and if so how? Still confusing. . . Can you help me a bit here? Oh and thanks again.

-Rick
