Ernest,
It sound like you have a dangling object reference to the listview, or one of the nodes. Do you have any properties that hold references?
Do you use a FOR EACH loop to iterate the listview? It's possible that this is leaving an internal dangling reference . If that's the case you have to just explicitly iterate the collection in a plain FOR loop.
>I'm working (still) with VFP5a. I placed a listview control (v6) on the form and I populate it with over 1000 records. I have a Cancel button that has a Thisform.release() - but the form will not release. This is the first time I am using a listview in VFP. Any help would be appreciated.
