>>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.

Don't think so... don't really see any difference because the "RefPage2" object reference still exists.
But I'll try it out when Ihave the time.
