Don't end your program by using the End toolbar button (with certain
exceptions). This is the same as using the End statement in code. For the
evils of that, just search www.google.com.

I've been pushing that end button for 10 years and am yet to see what the
problem is with it. I've seen many people say not to use the end button and
have asked what specifically will happen and no one has been able to give a
solid reason not to use it. I even subclass quite a bit throughout my app
and can push the end button while a subclass is active with no problems
(that main MDI form is subclassed). In the case of APIs it is possible there
is some small memory leak but if this is a problem I can restart the IDE.

The fact is most components will release their resources when the end button
is pushed, even components written in vb6 as long as their source code isn't
loaded into the IDE.
