Hi!

Form does not release if there is a reference exists in some variable, property or memory to any object on the form. VFP have object reference count for each object. Each time you assign reference to object somewhere, this count is increased. Each time reference is released from memory, this count is decreased. Some object on the form reports that it is referenced somewhere else (its reference count is greater than 1).

This also could happen when some data session created by custom ways could not be closed because some uncommited changes in the alias in that data session or unfinished transaction.

>I refer to the following code which I placed in the click event of my form (modal) button. The form does not get released even though I could watch the lines inside the IF...ENDIF statement execute from the debugging window.
