When you say 'close it' you mean you just close that form or the 
whole application?
When a form is open, the VB run time allocates some resources for it,
resources that are not removed until the form is destroyed, typically
when the application ends. To be sure to free all memory, never use
the default project forms, but always create new ones that you can 
delete when you want, e.g:

dim frx as Form1
set frx = new form1
frx.show
....and when you are done
set frx = nothing

I am not familiar with w98 anyway (lucky me) ...
