Re: How to kill a form

That can't be it.

Form references are different from other references. When a form is
released, all of the references to it are set to NULL and the form is
released.

Funny you should ask. I just ran into that today. It turned out (I think)
that there was a reference I didn't think of, which resulted from something
like this (in a process external to the form)

result = CloseForm(oFormRef)

PROCEDURE CloseForm
LPARAMETERS oForm
oForm.release

The remaining reference is in the calling proc (oFormRef).

This doesn't apply directly to your situation, since like I said it's
external to the form. No thisform.release anywhere. But check again for
references you might have missed. A forms collection perhaps?

Also, a reference to any of the objects on a form will prevent the form from
closing. Check for those too.

I have a form with nested page frames, tons of code, etc. When I
thisform.release, nothing happens. I have verified that there are no
public variables hanging around, all objects added to the form are
removed, all open tables are closed. AFAICT, I have properly cleaned
up everything that should need to be cleaned. Display Memory/Status
does not show anything that should stop the form from closing. What
else would stop a form from closing?

One thing I wish VFP had was a KillFormNowNoMatterWhatDammIt!()
function :)
