David,

>So why doesn't it work to let the click do its thang, and doubleclick() to simply thisform.Release()?

Very logical solution. Shame it doesn't work. <g> The dblclick() code never runs 99% of the time.

>You might want to look at the treeview101 sample form over on my website it might give you some ideas to toy around with, it basically is a VFP code version of windows explorer.

Will do.
