This app does run in a top-level form but the appropriate box is checked. The menu that reappears is the "main" menu, the first one that is run......I don't know if that matters or not. I am not issuing any push or pop commands so they are just hanging around in memory until the app closes where they are released.

Well, that didn't work either. The switch takes place as the events move from the modal forms .cmdExit.Click() method which on has THISFORM.Release() in it and when it enters the modal forms .Destroy() event where I'm killing some object references, it switches. This is from the debugger. There are no lines of code to change anything regarding menus. It just happens when it enters the .Destroy() event. Oh well.
