>Thanks chris for replying is there any workaround for this problem.
The article said the only (known) solution to get the memory back was to exit all the way out of the app and start the app again (or start foxpro again).
Another workaround would be not to use character form properties as control source.
Also it was mentioned that this is fixed in VFP8
