You don't need to close your form. You can also close the cursor manually (with the USE command), without waiting for the form to close.
It is just that quite often, I find this step unnecessary, and don't issue any explicit command to close the cursor. The cursor is then either overwritten with the next SELECT statement (i.e., re-running the report, perhaps with different options), or be closed automatically when the form is closed.
