Re: The necessity of Setting Objects to Nothing

As for myself, I ALWAYS set the actX objects to nothing,
either when they are no longer needed, or before I close

is holding his nose in disgust, or even projectile vomiting
into his toilet when he sees my code. Call me mister fud.

I'll second that. I find it odd that so many people
have such strong reactions against simply being thorough.
My own theory is that Microsoft is moving toward total
memory management and the party line, therefore, is
that people people should think in those terms, not being
concerned with cleanup.
Then again, this is the company that's getting ready to
release an OS that needs about 1 GB of RAM just to sit
there. So maybe it's not so well advised to follow their
lead.....Personally, if I wanted an object every 15 minutes I'd
unload it each time.

Just to add fuel to the fire:
