Set ? = nothing

[Muddmuse]

If I create an object like this:

Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.4.0&quot

then set other variables like this:

Set root = objXML.documentElement

do I need to set both to nothing when I'm finished with the objects or does setting only the initial object to nothing clean up any others referenced from it? In other words, should I do this:

Set root = nothing
Set objXML = nothing

or is this sufficient?

Set objXML = nothing

It is a good practise to set any object that you open back to nothing, therefore leaving nothing open (to chance/waste/etc.). Insanity is merely a state of mind while crazy people have a mind of their own.
