Any special recommendations in order to make sure the parent will be closed first? I am using something like this right now which is mostly to scan all the forms and taking action on them.

FOR lnCompteur=lnFormCount TO 1 STEP -1
   * We don't do the release for a toolbar or a memo
   IF UPPER(_screen.Forms(lnCompteur).BaseClass)='FORM'
      IF _screen.Forms(lnCompteur).QueryUnload()
         _screen.Forms(lnCompteur).Release()
      ENDIF
      ELSE
      IF lnCompteur=1
         EXIT
         ELSE
         lnCompteur=lnCompteur-1
      ENDIF
   ENDIF
NEXT
