>The problem is not likely to be with references which your form might hold to other objects but references held by external objects TO your form (or an object which it contains ). Check whether your forms Unload() event is firing. If, as I suspect, it is not then you almost certainly have a reference to the form somewhere which is preventing this. Whilst you can clean up your tables in the Destroy() you will not be tackling the underlying problem.

Viv, thank you for telling me that. as far as I can tell the UnLoad is firing fine because I put it into the trace window OK when the UnLoad was occurring at both the form level and at the class level. I did the same thing for the DE's closetables. That is firing also.
