Set the form variable as a local variable and you won't have that problem since the form variable goes out of scope after each instance creation. You can destroy it in OnClose.

Tag) then Release; end; This works, but there's probably a better way of achieving it; can anybody suggest one? Thanks, as always, for any help....
