CLOSE closes form but not application

I am using the CLOSE method, but under certain conditions it doesn't
execute the commands in the OnClose event and it only closes the form
without closing the application.  I can restore the application and
use the program.  Can anyone explain this behavior?

Try using:

Application.Terminate in the Close handler..

Example code would be useful. Just pulling things out of the
air, I'd try Application.Terminate instead of Form.Close.
Other possibilities are Action := caFree in the OnClose
event handler. Probably others, but it's hard to know
without sample code.

Trying HALT is not a good idea. According to at least one source, this
amounts to crashing your program in one line, and will *not* execute the
OnClose commands.

My only suggestion would be to make sure the Close command is applied to
the application's main window and not any child window or other control.
