Question : Microsoft Access 2003 not closing process on Windows 7

I have been using my Access 2003 databaes on Windows Vista for some time now with very few issues.  However, I had to upgrade to Windows 7.

Since then, I have noticed that my Access application does not fully close, when you quit and leaves a process running in "Task Manager".  This happens, even if I only load up the Main Menu and then exit straight away?  The only other alteration that I have made is with my Windows 7 user permissions.  I have changed this account to "User" rather than "Administrator".

Any ideas??

Answer : Microsoft Access 2003 not closing process on Windows 7

Microsoft has 'tightened' up Windows 7 (as well as Office 2010).  Some things that used to work (perhaps coded a little sloppy) don't anymore.

Make sure every thing you've dim'd as an object is closed and set to = NOTHING when finished with it.

dim s as someobject
set s = thisobject
'--- when done
set s = nothing

dim db as dao.database
set db = somedatabase
'---- when done
db.close
set db = nothing
