i used MS Access database.
but the problem is the error still occurs although i didn't open the database. i mean i just run the GUI and then click the close button. then when i close VB, the error occured.

1) u can test if db is iopen before close it
2) u can use "on error"

How does your program terminate?
DO NOT USE THE END statement to terminate your program. It leaves all sorts of nasties around.
When closing your program, make sure you have freed all memory allocations you have performed, if any, Set all Objects you created to nothing then close all forms using the following loop in your terminating form.

private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel as Integer)
Dim f as Form
for Each f In Forms
If f.Name <> me.Name then Unload f
next f
End Sub

The error only occurs if it's opened a recordset ( used to display data ) from a database. If I open the GUI and then close it immediately without any process of opening a recordset, the error WILL NOT occur.

Please help. Thank You.
