Hi,
If I click on "x" on the top right corner of the form to close the vb application, the program exits, but it stays in my memory, i.e. it does not unload itself.
If I exit by creating my own control, then no problem as I can put "unload" code underneath. But how can I do it for "X"? Please advise what to do so that the application does not stay in memory if the user closes the application by closing the window.

In Form_Unload event you can clean your mess. but all objects loaded in the form will automatically unload.
If you have doevents in your code, be careful to avoid that code to be running while your form is closing, it will hang up. To avoid, check for forms.count in loops with doevents.
Normally clicking the X button will unload the form, do you use Subclassing in the prog? Then I think it's the best to put
but only if there's no other way... What do you mean with:Code:Private Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
Unload Me
End
End Sub
Can't you use the "unload" code in the Form_QueryUnload Sub?Quote:

Set the form to Nothing in the Unload event.
Code:Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
'ÿou can't use the Me keyword when you set the form to nothing
Set Form1 = Nothing 'or wathever your form name is
End Sub
I'm so sorry Jop (and anyone else who missed me) but i have icq on my comp back home and i haven't got my connection yet, so i once ran icq and then noticed i lost all the offline mess you wrote, and from that moment i decided to run icq as soon as i get my new connection (should be next week (they said)) :)
