Does SYS(2015) have a more discrete resolution than 1/1000 seconds? If not, is there not a possibility that the same handle could be assigned to more than one object or property?

Fernando's suggestion is the easy to implement and should be fairly robust, especially if you make good use of SYS(2015) where appropriate. If you want to keep the number of global names used to a minimum then a CUSTOM object could serve as a collection (.AddObject your objects to it with a SYS(2015)-enhanced name so that you can access them by name or via the .Controls collection). This registry object would consume only one global name but it could provide any number of globally reachable names for your objects. If you .AddObject the registry object - or your objects themselves - to the global _SCREEN object then they will survive a CLOS ALL and a RELE ALL EXTE. *g*
