Is the form modal or is there a read events to hold it? If the variable you are assigning the object to looses scope then the form will be released (and destroyed.)

In other words, you create the form and assign to a variable using createobject. The form insantiates and then the code continues to execute from the calling procedure (provided the form is not modal) and when the calling procedure exits the variable loses scope and thereform the form goes away.

Does that make any sense, or am I completely wrong? I think that is how it works and sounds like your problem.
