>Works great! Thanks! But why should that make a difference (using the reverse loop)?

MIchael,

Here's why;

As your loop starts there are 3 forms, i starts as 1 and the first form is released. i increments to 2 and the formcount drops to 2. Second time i is 2 and the second form is released. i increments to 3 and formcount drops to 1. Third time i is 3 and there is only one form so _screen.Froms(3) is not a form. Working backwards is one way and another is this;

FOR i = 1 TO _screen.formcount
   _screen.forms(1).Release()
ENDFOR

and another;

FOR EACH oForm in _Screen.forms
   oForm.Release()
ENDFOR
