>I have a com exe that I am using to dispaly a progress graphic while doing long processes. I am having problem with the com.exe not releasing. What is the best way to make sure the com.exe gets released from memory? Some code.

Are you releasing the object from Visual FoxPro?

COM objects cannot shut themselves down, the client must shut them down, so the client app should control releasing of the COM object by setting the reference to null.

If there are hanging references however even that will not shut down the server, so make sure you don't have circular reference anywhere.

You can try RELEASE ALL but that may not work in the context of the server depending on what's loaded.
