>Thisform.Release doesn't call QueryUnload. I think QueryUnload only gets called if you hit the X in the right hand corner of the form. Just have QueryUnload and the Exit button both call your Thisform.CloseEvent. Then have your Thisform.CloseEvent include the code Thisform.Release. I think that will do the trick.

That's right, but don't forget Nodefault in the Queryunload to stop it from closing before running any other code...
