I'm not familiar with MM in particular, but does it perhaps have a goApp.Exit() method? The sort of thing you're trying to do here feels like something Kevin may have already baked into the framework.

A few other general points:

- if the user has data entry in progress, you may have to revert or roll back any changes made
- sometimes you need to be careful using collections when closing its members e.g. (pseudocode)

lnFormCount = goApp.oForms.GetFormCount()

FOR lnIx = lnFormCount TO 1 STEP -1
  goApp.oForms( lnIx ).SomeCloseMagic()

ENDFOR

* i.e. work from the end backwards, rather than from the start to the end.
* This prevents any problems when/if GetFormCount() or similar properties/methods decrement
* as you remove the collection's members.

- for the "cannot access the selected table" error, check Sergey's FAQ#18812

But again, it wouldn't surprise me if MM takes care of all this for you if you call the appropriate method(s).
