[RESOLVED] Force END

when i close my program it keeps running in the background as a process what can i put under the form unload even to close eveything that the program does :wave:

On Error Resume Next
'/////////////////////////////
'clear out all open forms
'/////////////////////////////
Dim MyForm As Form
For Each MyForm In Forms
Unload MyForm
Set MyForm = Nothing
Next MyForm
End

Put END as the last statement in your form_unload to kill everything. But better than this is to spend some time and find out why your program is not terminating. May be some infinite loop or someting may be the cause.

Thanks a mill

worked fine

That will not close ALL objects. You have to do something like the code that was posted. Here is what I use, and it hasn't failed me, yet.

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
 Dim frm As Form
  Dim obj As Object
  For Each frm In Forms
     If frm.Name <> Me.Name Then ' Unload this form LAST
       For Each obj In frm
         On Error Resume Next
           Unload obj
           Set obj = Nothing
       Next
       Unload frm
       Set frm = Nothing
     End If
    Next
    On Error Resume Next
      For Each obj In frm
        Unload obj
        Set obj = Nothing
      Next
      Set frm = Nothing
      Unload Me
End Sub

It will fail here and this is exactly the situation I was talking about in my post #3 (infinite loops)

VB Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Me.Show
    Do
        DoEvents
    Loop
End Sub

Don't you only need to call On Error Resume Next once, like as the first line of this sub?

Never had a problem with it, and it only gets called once. I really don't think the first object would be an error. Only when an object doesn't exist.

Not sure, but I think it's for the FOR EACH object IN Forms only.

On Error Resume Next resumes to the next line of code after the sub, which means it's pretty much an Exit Sub/Function only when an error has occured. Which is why it only needs to be called once. I rewritten your code to use modularly:

VB Code:

Public Sub Close_Program(Main_Window As Form)
 
    On Error Resume Next
 
    Dim Frm As Form
    Dim Obj As Object
    
    For Each Frm In Forms
        
        If Frm.Name <> Main_Window.Name Then  ' Unload this form LAST
       
            For Each Obj In Frm
                
                Unload Obj
                
                Set Obj = Nothing
            
            Next Obj
            
            Unload Frm
       
            Set Frm = Nothing
            
        End If
        
    Next Frm
    
    For Each Obj In Frm
        
        Unload Obj
        
        Set Obj = Nothing
      
    Next Obj
      
    Set Frm = Nothing
    
    Unload Main_Window
    
    End
    
End Sub

Ok thanks every1 for your time this is now resolved
