Clearing Memory

[Warrej]

Every time a form is unloaded it doesn't release all
the memory it once used.
Repeatedly loading and unloading forms seems to
hog memory, eventually slowing my application down (till
RTE 7 'Out of Memory').

Is there a way of unloading a form whilst retrieving
all the RAM memory it took (set frm = nothing has no effect and hide/unhide is not viable). Alternatively, if an appliaction is running for a long time, is it possible to
somehow clear the memory of garbage (without rebooting).

[Steven McGarva]

Unload MyForm
'Unloads a form or control from memory.

When a form is unloaded, only the displayed component is unloaded. The code associated with the form module remains in memory

Set Form1 = Nothing 'removes all that are using memory
Unload Form1 'Unload form from menu

Use both.

Don't forget to release any objects you have instantiated in the form, cos they will not release the memory when the form is closed.

Basically, set all you objects to nothing
