Hi Christian,
What you are experiencing is a logic problem that stems from the fact that a FOR/EACH is really just doing a FOR x = 1 TO FORMCOUNT for you. If you think about it, you can see what is happening. Let's say you have four forms open. Form1, Form2, Form3 and Form4. When you do

FOR EACH oForm IN _SCREEN.FORMS

FoxPro looks at the formcount and sees 4. So, it's going to try and walk through 4 forms for you and close them. FoxPro issues the equivalent of

_SCREEN.FORMS(1).RELEASE()

. This closes the first form. Now, your _SCREEN.FORMS holds: Form2, Form3, and Form4. FoxPro now looks to close the second form by doing the equivalent of:

_SCREEN.FORMS(2).RELEASE()

. If you look at the _SCREEN.FORMS that you have, you'll see that this will close Form3. Now your _SCREEN.FORMS looks like this: Form2, Form4. FoxPro now tries to issue the equivalent of

_SCREEN.FORMS(3).RELEASE()

and

_SCREEN.FORMS(4).RELEASE()

Since these don't exist, nothing happens.

What you'd really like to have is a way to step through the forms backwards, so this wouldn't happen. The code below will do that for you:
------------------

FOR x = _SCREEN.FORMCOUNT TO 1 STEP -1

	_SCREEN.FORMS(x).RELEASE()

ENDFOR

-------------------
I hope this helps.
