Thanks Larry

The following piece of code falls over with the error when ever I have the form designer on the screen.

PARENT is not an object

it does this on line 2.

FOR x =_screen.FormCount TO 1 STEP -1
if vartype(_screen.forms(x).parent)#'O'
_screen.Forms(x).release()
endif
ENDFOR


So I am not much more further advanced. Any more ideas :)

>>>You can use the Parent property of the form to determine if it is part of a Formset. The form designer is just a formset wrapper for your form. If you don't use formsets and the form you are attempting to release is part of one, then don't release it.
