John, if you use the command

DO FORM myformname NAME myfornname linked

VFP creates a variable in memory named "myformname" at the same time you start the form.
When the user leaves the form you simply need to put the command

RELEASE myformname

and the form is released. The RELEASE statement can be in an exit button, or in the destroy method
or even in the lostfocus method, though that will close the form if the user alt+tabs to another application.

hope this helps.
