>Is it possible to "release thisform" in the forms init event. What happens is during the validity check in a proceedure, the proceedure calls up the form, the form does the checking in it's init event to determine if there is a match on a variable. If there is, the form stays visible and displays the matches in a combo. If no matches, I want the form to stay invisible and release itself.

RETURN .F. in the Init will prevent form from instantiating.
