Arriyel,

Do you have any thisForm.newbject() calls anywhere in the form, or in any of its objects? I have seen cases where in the destroy method:

thisform.removeobject("myObject")

Where "myobject" is the name of the object added with the newobject() call. This will allow the form to release. Also, if a form is "stuck" open because of this reason, from the command window you can:

_screen.activeform.removeobject("myObject")

I have yet to figure out why this happens in some cases of newobject() but not in others.

HTH,
