Memory Usage (how to minimize)

I have an application with 8 forms or so. One is a major form that all the others update. After they update this form I use the UNLOAD command to try and pull them out of memory. However, even with a single form, and this major (hidden) form the system resources in windows drop from 90% before opening my file to 30%. My app has several timers involved (about 10) that are running. Any ideas on how to minimize the memory usage??

Thanks in advance.

If you have timers on a form that you unload the code isn't unloaded. You must set the form to nothing in the Unload event.

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_Unload()
    'you can't use the Me keyword here
    'this assumes that this form is called Form1
    Set Form1 = Nothing
End Sub

---

Good luck!
