Terminate Events not firing

Greetings all,

I have another question for you experts. I have a parent activeX control with three other sub-activeX controls. None of the Terminate events on these controls are firing when I remove the last external reference to the parent control. Therefore, the control stays in memory taking up resources until the app ends.

Nowhere in the app do I reference the sub-controls (that rules out an external reference), and the sub-controls do not reference the parent control (that rules out a circular reference).

Although I have checked again and again, I don't believe that this parent control is referenced anywhere else, and I don't believe that there are any circular references, but I suppose I could have missed something.

How do I find out why a given control is not unloading itself from memory?

Thanks in advance...

PS: This has nothing to do with my earlier question. I am having both problems with different activeX controls.
