Hehe! I am not worried about a performance hit cycling through a small collection. How many forms could a user have open? If they have more than a dozen or so, they may need therapy.

>If VFP is doing what I speculated, then, I think, we should view it as a good thing. A PITA for us to have to change? Sure! I'd rather have to make such change if it reduced memory problems, which are very hard to track down. Wouldn't you?

If the FOR EACH is doing garbage collection, then that is definately a good thing! I hope I remember this if/when I convert existing apps to VFP 8. This particular app is new so this is the first FOR EACH in it.
