well Mike don`t fall in the same pitfall as i did when dealing with this
person

we all know that using End to terminate a forms applcation in VB is bad
coding parctice

Maybe you now understand the mistake i made when dealing earlier with this
person , and you said so yourself we are paticipating in this newsgroup to
help and learn from each other, not to have childish arguments


the only situation when End might be valid to use is in a module only app

<!------ explanation for those who might be interested
When executed, the End statement resets all module-level variables and all
static local variables in all modules. To preserve the value of these
variables, use the Stop statement instead. You can then resume execution
while preserving the value of those variables.

Note The End statement stops code execution abruptly, without invoking the
Unload, QueryUnload, or Terminate event, or any other Visual Basic code. Code
you have placed in the Unload, QueryUnload, and Terminate events of forms and
class modules is not executed. Objects created from class modules are
destroyed, files opened using the Open statement are closed, and memory used
by your program is freed. Object references held by other programs are
invalidated.

The End statement provides a way to force your program to halt. For normal
termination of a Visual Basic program, you should unload all forms. Your
program closes as soon as there are no other programs holding references to
objects created from your public class modules and no code executing.
