>I am having a hard time figuring out how to close a form when using the "DO FORM somthing" construct. I have one form which has a button on it which loads a form with an OLE object on it which displays an avi file. What I want to do is close the form with a differnt button but the solution seems to escape me. Can someone offer a suggestion that might hemp me get arround this situation? Any help would be greatly appriciated. :-)

Is the form modal? If so, you've basically slit your own throat - the new Form is launched, and being modal, retains control and focus until it is closed; you never leave the method that launched the Form because DO FORM never terminates to return control to the caller. Try making the child form modeless.
