hi,
i m facing a problem that even after i End the
application in Form_Unload event, the application
still running in the background. when i check the
task manager application name is shown there with
the status Not Responding.
please tell me how would i end every procedure running
in the application before quiting from the application.

Regards,
Danish

Hi, the problem may be represent by some form opened not in modal way (i.e. frmMain.Show and not frmMain.Show 1).
So, once unloaded and try to quit the program, that form is still active but hidden.
That's why you cannot "safely" end yuor program!
But this is NOT a bug !
There are many workaround, such as try to remember that forms and use the "Unload frmMain" command, or use the End command in the Unload event of the MAIN form of the program!
Hope this may be useful !

hi there..

if you can try not to use the end command to finish your app.

the safest way is to dispose every form once you finish with it... also how do you call the unload event?? or better how do you unload your form?? if you call it to unload and then do more things then the form will not unload...

"End" is dangerous, as Gonzalo already said. If what Gonzalo suggested does not work, try this.

"Not responding" status means that the application is calling an external component that is not responding. Even if that component is not called directly, VB may do it for you (for example to close the connection)
This is a not easy problem to track. What I did in the past was to make a list of all the servers I was connected to, and one by one put a 'set server = nothing', followed by a message box, in the QueryUnload event. In that way I was able to find the component that did not want to be released, and the reason why.
And be careful: in this cases the application may work perfectly in the IDE. Always debug the exe.
Let us know.

Hi,

In case what've been sujjested by other members didn't work, try this.

It appears that there's some form which is not unloaded even after you "try" to unload it. This happens when you have valid object references in your form, for example recordset and/or connection objects. The ensure your form gets unloaded, make sure that you set all the object references to Nothing in the form unload event. Also make sure you set the form itself to Nothing. This will definitely unload the form.

While an app works, however, there may be multiple forms active or loaded but hidden at any given moment. To ensure you call Unload command on every form, use code similiar to this in the unload event of your main form:

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

I'm sure it'd solve the problem you'r having.
