Another possibility is that some external object helds reference to this form. Check out FAQ close all open forms for discussion about it.

I also believe, there is a discussion on Wiki on this topic and on David Frankenbach site as well. I don't have links handy, sorry.

>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.
