Test Stand Execution Abort

Question

I have a button that executes TS_ExecutionAbort. When I press that button in debug, it seems to work find but when I exit the program, I get the following error:
Global type list not empty!
Error Code: -17001
Where raised:
function: TypeUsageList:eleteGlobalTypeList
file: c:\TestStand_Autobuild\Build30\Dev\Src\tstobj2\TypeList.cpp

When I press the button in release, I get popups errors while waiting for the step to finish. The errors are as follow:
ActiveX Error
sCode = 0xffffbc6c
Description: Value invalid or out of range
And
ActiveX Error
Unknown Error
My gui is compiled in CVI 7.0 and I am using teststand 3.0.
Here is my button code otherwise the cvi gui is just updating status.
int CVICALLBACK cmdAbortCallback (int panel, int control, int event, void *callbackData, int eventData1, int eventData2)
int error = 0;
ERRORINFO errorInfo;
ErrMsg errMsg;
switch (event)
case EVENT_COMMIT:
tsErrChkMsgPopup(TS_ExecutionBreak (m_oExecution, &errorInfo));
// Prompt the user to make sure he wants to abort
if (ConfirmPopup ("Abort Confirmation", "Are you sure you want to abort?"))
m_bUserAbort = TRUE;
m_eState = ABORT_PENDING;
tsErrChkMsgPopup(TS_ExecutionAbort (m_oExecution, &errorInfo));
UpdateGUI();
else
tsErrChkMsgPopup(TS_ExecutionResume (m_oExecution, &errorInfo));
break;
return(0);
Error:
return(-1);
Do any of you know why I am getting these error or how to find the problem?

To gsflat -
You appear to have created a global variable called "m_oExecution" which I assume that you have created using
CA_DuplicateObjHandle() within some callback. If you are just copying a callback parameter to your global variable, the handle may have already been released.
If you fail to call CA_DiscardObjHandle() on object handles that you duplicate before shutdown or before you reassign a new value to an already assigned variable, TestStand will not be able to release the object on shutdown and you will get these debug warnings. Failing to properly release any type of object handle can result in these warnings.
As to why you release build is erroring, you will have to determine which functions in the project that uses the tsErrChkMsgPopup
macro are failing and then figure out why.
