You might try looking at the AINSTANCES() function. It will give you an array filled with variable names that have references to the specified object. You could then loop through the array and set eacj variable to .NULL..

Another approach is to add a Release method (if one doesn't already exist) to your objects with the following code:

release THIS

The usual course is to set variables to .NULL.. When the last reference to the object is set to .NULL., the object's Destroy method fires. Calling Release will release the object firing its Destroy method immediately. All references to the object will automatically be set to .NULL. because the variable will no longer exist.

HTH.
