Hi Kevin,

One thoughts is to have a forms manager in your application object which will know what forms are open and gracefully close them and release any outstanding object references so the application can QUIT gracefully.

I guess a hard-core way might be to invoke the appropriate API function ( can't remember it off the top of my haed ) to force the application to close similar to how the Task Manager does. I would think that generally this would be too drastic but maybe someone who has done it this way will chime in with some details.
