Hi Cetin,

I inserted your code and ran my simple test program with the with the show(2) line commented and without.

In on shutdown proc, I iterate through forms collection, writing names of active forms to a file, run the release code, and iterate through forms collection again if exists. When all forms are modeless it works as expected, closing all froms and shuts down. When there is a modal form on top,
WIth SHOW(2) method commented out:

Started on shutdown procedure
Forms collection 
_screen.forms(1) = TEST2modal
_screen.forms(2) = Form1
End of Forms collection 

_screen.forms(1) = TEST2modal did not release
_screen.forms(2) = Form1 did not release
Finished shutdown procedure

Executing SHOW(2)to make nonmodal

Started on shutdown procedure
Forms collection 
_screen.forms(1) = TEST2modal
_screen.forms(2) = Form1
End of Forms collection 

_screen.forms(1) = Form1 did not release
Finished shutdown procedure

In both cases after the form release code "clear all" errors with Cannot clear current object in use. Same as before. Also this does not close messagebox or browse if on top.

I had already tried a variation of this with same result.

Any other ideas?

Thank you

Elmer
