unload me

[mikew]

I have a very basic one form program. I am trying to make it exit if a certain condition is true. Right now I am using the following:

If CountDown > 5 then Unload me



CountDown is an Integer variable.
When the statement is true, I keep getting the message, "Run-time error '364': Object was Unloaded"
Is there any problem with using Unload Me in an IF statement?

You have a problem somewhere else. You can use this simple code to check that the problem with If and Unload me doesn't exist. Place Timer1 on Form, set its Interval = 1000 (1 sec) and paste this code:

private intCountDown as Integer
private Sub Timer1_Timer()
intCountDown = intCountDown + 1
If intCountDown > 3 then
Unload me
End If
End Sub



Run your project and you'll see it will be unloaded in 3 seconds without any problem.

If the statement unload me is in your form_load event procedure, move it to the form_activate procedure if you can.

I kept it in form_load but got rid of a module that was set to the startup form and set my frmMain to the startup. It worked then.
