Is something wrong with my code? I'm working with Microsoft eMbedded Tools, and when I get to the second form it won't close when I hit the OK button. It should close everything, but it won't unload form2 and it is eating my memory.

Option Explicit
Private Sub Form_OKClick()
'unload everything and close program
Unload (Form1)
Unload (Form2)
Unload (Form3)
Unload (Form4)
App.End
End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()
' Save Data to invisible string
Form2.Text7 = "Barcode: " + Form2.Text1 + vbCrLf + "Serial Number: " + Form2.Text2 + vbCrLf + "Model: " + Form2.Text3 + vbCrLf + "date: " + Form2.Text4 + vbCrLf + "Owner: " + Form2.Text5 + vbCrLf + "Comments: " + Form2.Text6
Form2.Text1 = ""
Form2.Text2 = ""
Form2.Text3 = ""
Form2.Text4 = Date
Form2.Text5 = "ETL"
Form2.Text6 = ""
' Pop Up confirmation
MsgBox Form2.Text7, vbOKCancel
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
'Clear all data in fields
Form2.Text1 = ""
Form2.Text2 = ""
Form2.Text3 = ""
Form2.Text4 = Date
Form2.Text5 = "ETL"
Form2.Text6 = ""
'Close the form, pop up the new one
Form1.Show
Form2.Hide
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Form2.Text4 = Date
Form2.Text5 = "ETL"
End Sub

I'm not shure but maybe you can try pointing to the form

me.unload(form1)
or
me.hide()

Where is this code located at in Form1, Form2, or FormX?

Can you give a sequence of events?

In the OKClick() method you have a command App.End does this end the application? If so are you saying the form is still loaded after the application has been terminated?

When you say it is eating your memory can you explain that better?

What is this "invisible string" you refer to? Are you using a textbox with the visible property set to false? Why do you not use a variable instead of a textbox?

It looks to me like you are referencing Form2 from another/other form(s) and using objects in Form2 when you should be using variables. If you need access to values throughout your application then try using a global variable. Just remember to always set the scope to the lowest level. It is not good practice to just create a bunch of global variables.

As long as you are referencing Form2 it is going to be loaded into memory.
