>I am sorry but I still didn't "get it"? You mean there is still more "things/code" to do after "ThisForm.RELEASE" and the next line "DO FORM auth" is running ahead of time preventing from the previous form to finish closing up?

PMFJI,
Yes, you have 'things/code' after 'thisForm.RELEASE'. You have "DO FORM". And it is running, preventing the code after that line from running, thus preventing the form from releasing completely.
To get the effect you want you could try:
thisForm.hide()
DO FORM
thisForm.release()
I am not recommending this method...but it will give you an idea of what is happening.
