I have, too. I've been working for several years on modifications to an application where the first thing in the Load method of every form is the declaration of public variables and the last thing in the Unload is the release of those same variables.

The person who wrote this application didn't know about buffering or about custom properties and methods. So, the public variables are used as ControlSources for the controls, and these forms call out to PRGs rather than having custom methods.

I'm gradually replacing these forms with properly designed forms.
