thank-you Nadya,

I didn't know what you told me. However, it didn't help. Because there are no objects I am instantiating that are not the form or form's objects in that form. I checked the form for 'CREATEOBJECT' code and there's nothing. I also checked methods in custom application object that are called from that form. So, that isn't the problem.

Maybe I'll just close out each table/cursor in the Destroy the old fashioned way. Then, I'll have a data session named 'Unknown' because that's the name of it after the form goes down. But at least the maintenance procedures will work.
