I am increasingly finding in my apps that I am calling a form from within another form, and am wondering is there any downside to the way I am doing it .
I have seen references to 'dangling forms ' or 'dangling objects' but am not quite sure waht this means.

I have a form (FormA) which Calls a form (FormB) and I am doing this as follows:

1. In FormA I have a button which: Do Form FormB with This.Parent
(This.Parent is it the parent of the click button .i.e. the Forma)

2. In My FormB init I have a parameter and I store the called form to aproperty
Init
Parameters MyCalling Form
This.oCallingForm = MyCallinForm

3. This means that , inside in Formb I can access all proerties of FormA
e.g. lcFormAcaption = ThisForm.oCallingForm.Caption etc.

4. I close FORMB either as a Release Thisform or clicking on the 'X' of formb

This all seems to work fine and I dont have any problems ..... but do I Have any leakage or dangling objecs hanging around afterwards... or maybe there is a better alternative ?

regards,

Gerard
