>A "dangling object reference" is a memvar reference to some part of *another* object. Such a reference prevents that actual freeing of the referencED object, EVEN IF YOU EXPLICITLY ISSUE A RELEASE command! In such a case the actual object reference memvar does indeed disappear BUT the object itself remains in memory. A simple sample:

oX = CREATEOBJECT("MyForm")
>RefPage2 = oX.Pgf.P2
>    *
>    *
>   lots of code
>RELEASE oX

The actual memvar reference "oX" will disappear, but the object "oX" will remain in storage because "RefPage2" holds a reference to an object within the oX object.
>Now imagine repeating that code over and over again. Soon enough you'll have multiple extraneous copies of object "oX" residng in memory.

Hi Jim.
Would

oX = NULL
RELEASE oX

Solve this?
