Colin,

It really sounds like this is a situation of a hanging object reference refusing to let the form go away.

For example, take a from with two textboxes and TextBox1 has a property named OtherTxtBx that is an object reference to TextBox2, then when you try to ThisForm.Release() the form will appear to go away but the actual form object will remain because textbox2 cannot go away as long as textbox1 has a reference to it. You need to be very carefull when you have objects holding references to other objects to be sure that you clean them up, otherwise you can find all kinds of problems with object releasing.
