  ... and then to free up any resources used up by the form do this:
  

  
  Set <form name> = Nothing
  

  
  Good Luck!

  Unload Me is not valid in .Net. Me.Close is fine as in .Net it clears the reference to the form and setting it to nothing is uneccessary. If you really want to set it to nothing then you don't need the 'Set' keyword anymore. It's gone in .Net all you need to do is formname = nothing.

  craaaaaap! I'm thinking pre.net here... i should learn to be more attentive.
  

  
  yes as the talented musician said .NET there is no need for set just do <form name> = Nothing
  

  
  Thanks Musician and sorry about that.

  true.
  

  
  What do you persnoally  think about .NET? I've been working with it since the public beta 1 and learning C# and VB.NET as well as ASP.NET but I am no way a pro yet. The runtimes are a little hassle still and i guess its gonna take a while before 'real' applications get out in the open.

  Yeah I'm still learning this new beast but I'm now using it full time since I persuaded my employer to order it. I'm currently working on an enhanced notepad that will compile .net scripts. This is just so I can learn as I go since I have VS.Net at work but I'm very happy overall with it.
