closing an exe

[Luke Storer]

I haven't really used VB much before to create .exes only in access

I have made an exe that empty's a given folder so i can just click it and erase the contents.

somewhat of an embarrassing problem though, the exe wont stop running without me closing the form but i want the form to be invisible

any help would be gratefully received

The forms invisible, but it is still in memory.
Try adding the following after your code:

unload form1

if that doesnt work, the 'not so recommended' solution:

End

yeah thats the problem - ctrl-alt-del and then finding the process is about as much effort as opening the folder manually I'll try that now

thanks
