Hi Erik - My problem is, I am trying to release a FORM that is not active
and not part of a FORMSET.
How do you release a FORM that is not the active FORM?
I could use RELEASE WINDOW myform (thanks Edward)but I rather not.
I tried DO FORM myform NAME anyform
then....
_SCREEN.anyform.RELEASE - but this does not work because anyform is not the
active FORM.
any more ideas?..thanks...rob
