>I realized that when I print a report trough the CR OCX, the datafiles (native DBFs) used in the report (not the ODBC data), remain owned by the application after report finishes, until I close VFP (not just the form). You can see this fact if you try to change the name or delete the file while the application is up.

I had the same problem. The way I got around it was to remove the Crystal OCX after each report and re-create it before the next one.
