Bruce,

In the .Destroy() event of all of my forms, I load up and array of all aliases that were or could have been buffered during form operation. They are run through a loop (in a transaction class) that performs a tablerevert() on each alias flushing all buffers before the form is killed. That would solve your dilemma because then all you need to do is a loop to release the forms and the buffered aliases are automatically taken care of inside the form.
