Another possibility that occurs to me is a "dangling reference" - a reference to some object. I don't know, however, if this would actually forbid you to close the application.

Also check to see whether you have open transactions.

About closing datasessions: I hope you are aware that you have several data sessions - one for each form. With the SET command (only available for the developer - not for the end-user) you can select the different data sessions. When several forms are open - each with their own data session - you will see several entries. When all forms are closed, you should see only the default data session. However, you will see more than one if some problem forbids closing the data session.

Consider what other factors might conceivably forbid you to close the APP. Do you get any error messages? And what made you suspect the data session?
