Steve, In addition to Hide(), you may need to change your form WindowType property from Modal to Modeless. A modal form must be released before you continue with other forms.

>Use the Hide() method instead of Release(). This will allow the program to continue. Basically, you can need only to Show() and Hide() it.

>>I have several custom classes that each instantiate a form. One in particular has it's form called over and over again. I'd like to be able to leave this form in memory. I have found that once I do the .Show() method and the form is in control, I cannot just set it aside but must release it to continue. Is there a way to keep the form in memory and have a user press an OK or Cancel button that does not release the form but lets me continue on? This would allow me to create the form only once in the init of the custom class. Now I have to do .AddObject() each time I want the form to display.
