If you mean from inside the running program then do this

Public Sub UnloadAllForms()

For Each frm In Forms
    Unload frm
    Set frm = Nothing
Next

Exit Sub

Private Declare Function CloseWindow Lib "user32" Alias "CloseWindow" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long

Dim lngRetVal as long
lngRetVal=FindWindow(vbnullstring,"Name of my App")
CloseWindow lngRetval
