Hi!

It does not work in EXE because VFP do NOT create the variable with the same name as a form name. This variable is create only for debugging purposes to allow you quickly see all properties and objects of the form in the "locals" debugging window.

In the applications you can use following:

for i=1 to _Screen.FormCount
  if _Screen.Forms(i).Name = "MyFormName" && find a form with the name we need
    _Screen.Forms(i).Release
    exit && we found required form - no need to go further in a loop
  endif
endfor

HTH.
