Hi Rodd,

The memvar for the form object reference would be declared private. This is probably why the form is being destroyed so quickly. What I have done in the past is to declare a global object and have an array as a property of that object. I have 2 elements in each row, the first with a 'friendly' name for the form and the second is the object reference. When you create a form you then pass the friendly name and object reference in e.g.

LOCAL loFormSomething

DO FORM frmSomething NAME loSomething
goApp.StoreForm( 'My Something Form', loSomething )

Because you have an additional object reference then the form is not destroyed when the local / private memvar goes out of scope. All you do then is put a call from the form goApp.KillForm( 'My Something Form' ) when you want to close it. The KillForm can set the object reference in the array to NULL and then you can close the form down.

Hope this makes sense! If not I will clarify more. I don't have the code i used to hand, but the main principles are above.

Lloyd.
