Hi!

Take a look to the description of the sys(1104) function at the MS site and fox.wikis.com site. This function purges unused buffers in VFP memory. You can call it after running of each form and that can help, I guess.

Real memory leak should be tested in continuous use of something, not just by a single use. For example, open your form and close in a loop with 10000 steps. If you do not notice increase of memory in process of such loop, all is ok.
