App stays in processes once closed

[Giraffe Frenzy]

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:

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 ..

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..

unload me

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