Application Runs On (VB6)

[D Willett]

Do I need to use any unload or closing statements with forms in my application.
With one particular form ("Archive"), when closing the form and exiting the application, my project seems to run on.
Nothing is visible on screen but checking Task manager, the application is still running.

With my Sub Main, I am checking if the application is running and loading the previous app if it is.
But the program won't load the prev app because it's not in the task bar ?

I have been using FileSystemObject (fso) and have set fso to nothing after each session.

Dim fso As New FileSystemObject
.........................
Set fso = Nothing.

Have I missed something.

Dave,

Do you have forms that you only hide (by applying the Hide method or by setting the Visible property to False), but never unload?

Yes, I use .Hide quite frequently.
Is there some kind of class module to unload forms or memory on exiting the application ?

[HansV]

I don't know of a class module, but you might try this code in the QueryUnload event of the main form of your application:

Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
Dim frm As Form
For Each frm In Forms
If Not (frm Is Me) Then
Unload frm
End If
Next frm
Set frm = Nothing
End Sub

It unloads all open (visible or not) other forms when the main form is unloaded.

This seems to have worked.
I had one glitch, which I think i have solved.
One of the forms had the main form unloding instead of hiding, which caused the program to crash ?
Changing the statement to hide seemed to have sorted it.

Thanks again.
