Hi Darrell,

Probably, You have a reference intercrossed between objects, this creates a deadlock on VFP.

<snip>

For instance, if my edit button named "cmdEdit" calls a modal form in the click method I would get the message "Cannot clear the object 'cmdEdit' because it is in use. I have even tried referencing the modal form and closing and releasing it ...

Check if the modal form it is effectively released.
