Application keeps running in the background

[GMcFly]

Hi everybody,

I've got a problem. When I quit my application (using a button giving the command "End&quot all the forms dissapear but when I look in the task manager, the application is still running. Is there another way to stop my application from running. Can I do a "force quit"? Thanks for your help

You are using End? You shouldn't do that. Unload the form(s) and set any objects to 0 return memory to the OS.

Are you using a timer? If you don't disable the timer before you unload the form it can fire and reload the form.

Ok, thanks for you help. But it still doesn't work. Here is the code I have now on the click event of the button:

    Dim F As Form
    For Each F In Forms
        Unload F
    Next

Are you running this from inside a form? If so the code attempts to continue at the Next, thus reloading the form it's running in. Try

Dim F As Form
For Each F In Forms
If F.Name <> Me.Name Then Unload F
Next F
Unload Me

That also doesn't work. There might be something wrong in my application. I'm uploading and downloading files, but I've done it in such a way that it can only quit when the upload is done. If there is no other way of quiting the application, it is probably my application. Thanks again for your help!
