i just wanted to know the difference and the amount of meory we save in these two statements.

suppose i have

dim rs as adodb.recordset

now i the open the recordset.
and when i m finished i close it.

rs.close

but i do not set rs=nothing like this

set rs=nothing.

i know by setting rs=nothing i release the memory i have used for the recordset.
but then by writing rs.close
do i have any advantage.
what happens exactly when i write rs.close.
is there any memory i m saving in that way.
actually i do not want to set my recordset to nothing now, bcoz i know i have to use it a little later.

so will closing the recordset be of any use or i should leave it open.

i will be thankful for any help.

bye
