When does a closed form go to Nothing?

When launching another form from the current form, I use the code below to
determine if the form to be launched is already active and showing. If
form = Nothing, then I instantiate it, otherwise I just set it's properties
and refresh the form.

Problem is: when the form already been shown and closed using it's X button
(sending the form thru it's Closing and Disposed events), and then an
attempt is made to reinstantiate it again, the form is NOT Nothing, and
falls into the Else clause below. This generates an error message"

"Cannot access a disposed objected named "frmRecord" . Object name:
"frmRecord" .

Is this a case of slow garbage collection, and/or is there a way to set a
form to Nothing in the form's Closing or Disposed events?

If frmRecord Is Nothing Then
frmRecord = New frmRecord(intFo rmatID, intRecordID, FormMode.Edit)

frmRecord.Show( )

Else

frmRecord.Mode = FormMode.Edit

frmRecord.Recor dID = intRecordID

frmRecord.FormP aint(intRecordI D)

frmRecord.Show( )

End If

Thanks,

Handle the other Form's closed event, and in the event handler, set the
variable = Nothing.

Or:
If frmRecord Is Nothing OrElse frmRecord.IsDis posed Then
frmRecord = New frmRecord(intFo rmatID, intRecordID, FormMode.Edit)
Else
frmRecord.Mode = FormMode.Edit
frmRecord.Recor dID = intRecordID
frmRecord.FormP aint(intRecordI D)
End If

frmRecord.Show( )
frmRecord.activ ate

this isn't related to the actuall question - however, when I was looking for
isdisposed, it wouldn't show up in the intellisense neither for the form nor
for an object of type 'Control'. ofocurse, it shows up in the object browser
for the Control. am i missing something here?

See: http://www.mattkruse.com/temp/window_closed.html It looks like the .closed property of a window is inaccessible if the window is actually closed. Other browsers have no problem detecting that the window has been closed. Opera 7.11 and 7.20b7 both throw errors when trying to check the .closed property. Is this a bug in Opera, or do I have to (once again) take special action to make normal javascript work with Opera?

This is from my previous post, but a different issue. I have the following Javascript routine that opens a popup page, but doesn't seem to work if called from an asp.net button. It seems to work fine from a link. The button does bring up the popup window, but when I press the links on the page, it doesn't return or close the window. ****************************************************************************

I declare a variable X of type myForm then instantiate myForm saving a reference in the variable X, and then do X.Show. If I need to know if the form has been shown yet, I check X against Nothing. If the users closes MyForm I'd like X to be set to Nothing but don't know how to sense (except in MyForm) that myForm is closing. In the myForm's Closing event if I set Me=Nothing will that set X to Nothing?
