Releases memory occupied by user-defined variables (including form fields and menu items) or result sets.

Comments
DISPOSE releases the memory where the current values of variables (including form fields and menu items) are stored. As a result, the objects whose values were stored in that memory become $Null. DISPOSE does not close or erase the objects themselves.

dispose Form1 Menu1
Releases the memory used to store the current values of all form fields in the specified form and menu.
