App stays in processes once closed

How is it when I close out of my application that it stays running in my processes?

Does your app Dim F as form and then F.Show?
When the main app closes, this DIMmed form does not close automatically - it is up to you to close it manually and then set it to nothing.

An easy way of doing this is to place this in the Form_Unload event of the main form of the program:

VB Code:

Dim x As Long
    '---------------------------------------------------------------------
    On Error Resume Next
    '---------------------------------------------------------------------
    For x = Forms.Count - 1 To 0 Step -1
        If Not Forms(x) Is Me Then
            Unload Forms(x)
            Set Forms(x) = Nothing
        End If
    Next
    On Error GoTo 0

If a user X's out, would that work then too?

Yep - anything that causes the main form to UNLOAD will cause that code to execute. Of course, I am ASSUMING that the "orphaned" form is the cause of your problem, and I may be wrong...

in form unload ..

VB Code:

Do Until Forms.Count = 1
    Unload Forms(Forms.Count - 1)
Loop
 
Or ..
 
Dim Form
For Each Form In Forms
    Unload (Form)
Next Form

in form terminate..

VB Code:

unload me

make sure you stop any timers also ..and close any other objects that maybe open ..
