So, do I understand you correctly, what you don't have problems, if you comment out CLOSE TABLES in Destroy event? If yes, when what does stop you of doing so? If you use private DS, you don't need this statement anyway.

BTW, am I the only one having problems with UT today? I have different kind of errors which open up a debugger...

thisform.release()

If 'CLOSE TABLES' is commented, then the form is released. Regardless, the message is displayed only after accessing Page4 of Pageframe1 and only when CLOSE TABLES is in teh Destroy event of the form.
