>>>Elmer may be right, if it happens on form closing. Maybe because of the changes in ZOrder of the form controls GHL gets destroyed before the grid. Then, when grid tries to evaluate the Dynamic... properties one last time, GHL is already not there and GHL.nRecno property (that Dynamic.. expression checks) also is gone already, which causes Invalid Dynamic expression... error.

Looks fine, though could be re-written this way:

loGrid = evaluate('this.parent.'+this.cHostName)
if vartype(loGrid)<>'X' && Don't remember, if X refers to null
  with loGrid
    ..
  endwith 
endif

Did you try to messagebox grid's dynamic properties in that code to make sure, they are reset?

I guess, something else is going on here. Colin, do you have any code in Destroy, Unload, Release methods of any of form's controls or the form itself?

>As you can see, if GHL is destroyed first, it supposed to reset Grid's Dynamic properties to empty state. The grid then should not error out on Dynamic properties unless there is something weird going on and Dynamic... properties retain their expressions somehow after GHL is destroyed.
