RE: [DUG]: Form Creation

2003-07-02 Thread Boyd, Conor
It really depends on how you manage the lifetimes of your forms. Making your Mainform the owner of all subforms and dialogs allows you to rely on the MainForm 'trying' to release them at app end. However, if you use some other way of managing the lifetimes of your subforms, or how you keep refere
