>>Well, if you're like me, you may have had some variable set for testing purposes and you'd lose them. The problem sounded like you had a dangling object reference to the form or something on the form. For example, if you place the mouse pointer over a control on the form and issue ox = SYS(1270), you won't be able to close the form because there's still a reference to the control held by the ox variable. Once you ox = NULL, it'll then close. CLEAR ALL would have the same affect.

I hit on Close button and nothing happens. So, the question is, is it possible to close a form after normal process termination without going to application menu - Exit (not the Fox system menu)?

Nadya,

As I explained to Alex, usually these problems are caused by a dangling reference to an object. You can test this using the information I supplied. In these instances, CLEAR ALL may release the reference. However, it is possible, as happened with Alex, that this may result in VFP locking up.
