Thanks again, David. I must admit that I've never quite got to grips with the Close v Release debate (and I've seen it rage in this or that forum on a number of occasions), but doesn't Borland itself recommend that you use Release when closing a form from an event within the form itself such as a button click? Or, do you mean Form.Close should be used in this particular scenario of multiple instances?

Just use form.close, and use the OnClose event (Action := caFree;) to release the form. You'll have to use the Screen.Forms property to determine if any instances are loaded. *************************************************************************** This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential.
