Do you have SP1 Installed?
If not install it.
If you do have it installed, Im at a loss to what is wrong,
but in the original VFP7 (pre SP1), there was a bug with objects and Assign methods.

We had a form manager that would pass references of the form through Assign Methods. Internally these were not released, and there was little you could do to release them (except RELEASE ALL, which is obviously not an ideal solution :) )

We expereienced the same problem with form closing in 6 but not 7, it was reported to MS, and put into SP1.

As I say though, if you do have SP1 installed, then Im not sure, and the advice others have given will probly help.

>I have a form that won't close. It properly releases all references to itself and to a child screen, but THISFORM.Release() leaves the form up in limbo-mode...it can't be closed (not with a CLose button or with the system "X") and the application can't be ended with File | Exit or the "X" (ON SHUTDOWN...). Nothing I do seems to make it able to close properly.

Anyone have any ideas on what might have changed between 6 and 7 as far as form release, references, etc. go? Any ideas on how do debug this? I can watch the code go through and end up back on the main READ EVENTS, and yet the form is still there...no way to tell why it won't close. HELP!
