You are making a big assumption here, Nadya.

Just because you code a RELEASE does NOT mean that the memvar is actually released!

As JayeshP says, *IF* your code puts **ANY** reference to an object's property, or even stores an object reference patial 'path' (for example: xxx = oObject.Treeview) then RELEASE will do nothing to the actual object! Yes, it will release the memvar you specify but it will NOT release the object.

good luck
