Never use the End statement [ All Languages » VB »  Language] Total Hit ( 3660) Rate this article:     Poor     Excellent   Submit Your Question/Comment about this article Rating

There are a lot of risks involved in using End in VB programs: your databases might not be correctly closed, your objects are not correctly terminated, etc. You should always terminate a program by unloading all the forms. You can do this using the following routine: Click here to copy the following block For index = Forms.Count - 1 To 0 Step -1  Unload Forms(index) Next or you can use a Do While loop: Click here to copy the following block Do While Forms.Count > 1  Unload Forms(0) Loop UPDATE: The above code doesn't unload the form from which it is lanched. To effectively unload all forms, add an Unload Me statement.
