>We have a VFP .exe that will be running continously 24/7 that uses several objects during it's course of operation. The question is, what is the best way to handle this. Do we instantiate these objects initially and assume they will be OK forever or she would clear them and reinstantiate at some point, daily perhaps? I would like to hear from anybody who has had any negative experience or just viewpoints on this.

In Theory, the object will exist as long as the app is running. However, you have to make sure it doesn't leak memory and grow till it kills your machine.
