>Is it possible to release the form from the init or load events. I have a form that runs a couple of methods from the init event and conditionally I need to release the form. But now matter what I do I can't release the form from any method called from the init event. Is there a way around this?

Marvin,
Louis gave you the answer. In addition to that, returning .F. from either does not fire the Destroy method of the form. Just in case you have some cleanup code there, you may have to make a manual call to it before the Return .F. line.
