The click method of an okay button on a modal form I had the following code.

Procedure cmdOkay.Click
Local lcFile,lcType...

With This.Parent && The parent is the modal form
lcFile=.txtMergeFile.Value
lcType=.comMergeType.Value
EndWith
*
*Code to do the merging
*

...

ThisForm.Release
EndProc

The form never released when the merging finished and the Release method was called. Obviously there was a dangling object reference somewhere. The only problem was I never refered to any objects in my code.

However, when I changed "With This.Parent" to "With Thisform" everything worked fine. I am assuming that the "EndWith" does not clear any objects referenced
by the "With" command. Am I correct in my understanding? Did anyone else know this already?

Thanks
