Mark,
After calling the release, you could have a RETURN TO line that returns to the method/procedure that actually launched the form (if modal) or initiated the process that caused the error. Check out the help on RETURN. You can alos check out the following for more discussions about this:

Thread#447637

Also, check out Doug Hennig's whitepaper on error handling at his web site.
