Rght. This is because you do not create additional reference to the object.

In VFP each object have internal property - Reference Count. As soon as you assign object to some variable or property, reference counter increased by 1. When variable released or property cleared, reference count is decreased by one. When reference count is zero, object is destroyed, so its Destroy method is called. When you release some object's variable (like in your sample with use of RELEASE command), object's reference count is descreased to 1, so it is not destroyed at all (its Destroy method is not called). When you remove the line "this.oBusiness=toBusiness", you do not create extra reference to the Business object, and as a result object is destroyed out from memory.
